RGA Statement on Tony Evers Announcing Retirement

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Republican Governors Association (RGA) released the following statement today in response to Tony Evers announcing he will not seek re-election:

“For eight years Tony Evers has let the worst elements of the Democrat Party run roughshod over state government, and now the same out-of-touch liberals who want to call mothers ‘inseminated persons’ will line up to replace him,” said Republican Governors Association Communications Director Courtney Alexander. “While Governor Evers failed Wisconsin families by offering nothing more than folksy euphemisms to deal with problems facing the state, that pales in comparison to the Democrat hopefuls lining up to replace him who will not shy away from their intentions to take the state backward. Wisconsin is ready for a return to common sense leadership and real solutions that have been lacking under the tenure of Gov. Evers and not a single Democrat in Wisconsin can credibly offer either.”
