"Opening up offices like this here and I was in Wausau and the Sheboygan areas before this, this is really about getting people energized to start knocking on doors, making phone calls, connecting person to person," Walker said.

Nine Democrats are slated to square off in the August primary.

The winner will take on Governor Walker in November.
