Wisconsin voters choose the state's next governor on Tuesday, Nov. 3, and with less than two weeks left, both candidates are traveling the state on bus tours to meet voters in person.
Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany is making 55 stops on what he calls his "Common Sense" tour. Democrat David Crowley, the Milwaukee County executive, is on a 10-day swing he calls his "Let's Get to Work Wisconsin" tour.
Tiffany stopped Sunday in Oconomowoc, speaking with people at Shotzy's on Main Street. Asked about undecided voters, he suggested they watch last week's televised debate between the two candidates and then decide. He said his platform includes returning the state surplus to taxpayers, cutting property taxes, and auditing state government to find fraud and waste, along with backing police and putting more money into schools.
Crowley stopped Sunday in Shawano, where he met supporters and argued the state wants a change and a governor who can build relationships across the political spectrum. He said he would work to lower costs for families facing higher prices for gas, groceries and utility bills, expand healthcare and improve schools.
The race remains close. A Marquette Law School poll released Sept. 30 put Crowley at 46% and Tiffany at 45% among registered voters, with 9% undecided. Among likely voters, Crowley led 49% to 46%, with 5% undecided. A new poll is expected Wednesday.
Both campaigns are urging supporters to vote, and early voting is already underway across Wisconsin.
