Mary Burke visits FOX6, discusses Voter ID, Act 10 & the economy

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Mary Burke has officially been named Governor Scott Walker’s Democratic challenger in the governor’s race — easily defeating Brett Hulsey in last week's primary.  Now, the focus is on the November general election — and both candidates are back on the campaign trail.

On Tuesday, August 19th, Mary Burke stopped by Real Milwaukee to talk about campaigning, Voter ID, Act 10, the economy and the Ice Bucket Challenge.

The race for governor in Wisconsin is one of the closest governor’s races in the country. The latest Marquette University Law School poll shows the race a dead heat — with 47% of likely voters supporting Burke, to Walker’s 46%. That poll was released on July 23rd.

Most political experts, and almost all of the polling data shows the Walker-Burke contest is a toss up. That means every single day on the campaign trail counts.

During Burke's appearance on Real Milwaukee, she discussed her plans for leading the state forward. She also shared her thoughts on Voter ID, Act 10 and the economy.
