“Today the WICRs embark on a new mission. I thank Alex Walker for his hard work as Chairman this year and what he did for the WICRs. We’ll now set our sights on winning in 2018. Our organization is committed to keeping the Governor’s office red and beating Sen. Baldwin. I am excited about the team we’ve assembled and am looking forward to getting started as Chairman.”
