Scott Walker Spent Little Time In Wisconsin During Presidential Campaign

Wikipedia

If it felt like Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker did not spend much time in the state after announcing his run for president…it's because he didn't.

Walker's official calendar for July was released to The Associated Press under Wisconsin's open records law. It shows Walker spent one day that month in Wisconsin on official business after launching his presidential run July 13.

That one day was to attend a Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation board meeting and to sign a bill banning abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

Walker canceled campaign events to spend another day in Wisconsin to visit with the family of Carson Holmquist. He was a Marine killed at a Navy-Marine reserve center in Tennessee.

The calendar also shows Walker held daily 15-minute conference calls with staff.

Walker's August and September calendars have yet to be released.
