It's Tony Evers: State schools superintendent to challenge Scott Walker in November [View all]

[milestogo]

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Evers won Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial primary Tuesday and will face Gov. Scott Walker in the fall election. “The people of Wisconsin are tired of Scott Walker’s politics — the politics of division,” Evers said in an interview Tuesday. “We’re going to hold him accountable.”

The victory for Evers marks a critical turning point in the election. For months Walker has been awaiting an opponent among eight Democratic contenders. After Tuesday night’s primary it is down to a one-on-one sprint to the Nov. 6 general election.

Former Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson, the longest-serving governor in state history who won a third term in 1994 with 67 percent of the vote, said the election will be Walker’s toughest yet — “even tougher than his recall.”

Thompson agreed with Walker’s recent assessment that the governor could be trailing in the first polls that come out after the primary. He said the race will be close because many people in Wisconsin like giving the other side a chance after eight years, the tea leaves point to a Democratic year and Walker has made many tough decisions that aren’t universally loved.
