Wisconsin's Scott Walker: 'Ready For Another Four Years'

MADISON, WIS — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker gave his first definitive remarks following his abortive Presidential campaign that he's ready and willing to run for re-election as Governor of Wisconsin in 2018 - if he wins, it would be his third term.

The 2018 Wisconsin gubernatorial election will take place on November 6, 2018, to determine the governor and lieutenant governor .

In remarks released ahead of this weekend's State Republican Convention in Wisconsin Dells, Walker said in a prepared statement, "I'm ready to help lead this remarkable state forward for another four years. Walker continued, "People often ask me if I am going to run again in 2018. Well, with record employment in the State of Wisconsin, the better question is, 'Why wouldn't I run for re-election?'"

Republicans in Wisconsin will gather this weekend in the Wisconsin Dells to for the State Republican Convention. Republican elected officials and grassroots leaders will come together at training sessions, receptions, and speaking events as we seek to build on their successes from last election cycle.

The Republican Party of Wisconsin Chairman Brad Courtney issued the following statement ahead of this weekend’s convention, "Last year, the Republican Party helped secure Wisconsin’s electoral votes for President Donald Trump, propelling him to victory on Election Night. On top of that, we re-elected Senator Ron Johnson in one of the most crucial elections in the country and built on our historic legislative majorities."
