“Wisconsin’s families and workers stand to benefit tremendously by Democratic policies to help the middle class,” TJ Helmstetter, DNC spokesperson said in a statement.” Our Democratic candidates are excited to present their visions to move America forward in such an important state with such a rich progressive tradition.”

In the statement, Helmstetter also said Wisconsin would be “doubly harmed” by a Republican president.

The Badger State has seen much political activity this election season with Gov. Scott Walker’s brief bid for the 2016 ballot.
