By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | January 27, 2022
From WisPolitics.com …Republican Kevin Nicholson today formally launched his bid for guv, promising to be a “fighter whose sole focus is getting things done.”Nicholson’s entry into the race sets up the potential for a bruising GOP primary with former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, who formally announced her run last fall.In recent weeks, Nicholson has made clear he will run as an outsider and took a veiled shot at Kleefisch in his announcement. Kleefisch spent eight years as lieutenant governor and has been the favorite of many Republicans in the state’s professional political class.“We can’t take Wisconsin to new heights if we elect a governor from the same, tired political class that lacks the vision, ability, and will to fight for the future of our state,” Nicholson said.Businessman Jonathan Wichmann, of Franklin, has also filed to run for the GOP nomination to take on Gov. Tony Evers. Madison businessman Eric Hovde also has been weighing a bid.See the release here.
