Republican Governors Association executive director Phil Cox issued the following statement regarding Tom Barrett’s announcement that he will run for governor:
“Tom Barrett’s record is clear: higher unemployment, runaway spending, and a 20 percent increase in property taxes. While it is ironic that Mayor Barrett used Governor Walker’s reforms to balance Milwaukee’s budget, he can’t compete with Scott Walker’s record of strong leadership; eliminating a $3.6 billion deficit, holding the line on property taxes and adding thousands of new jobs. Wisconsin cannot afford to go backwards, and Scott Walker is the only candidate who will keep Wisconsin moving in the right direction.”
