U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson addresses delegates Saturday at the Wisconsin Republican Convention in Middleton. "It seems fitting and proper that our Republican voters will decide who our nominees are going to be," he said of a convention that declined to endorse candidates for governor, state attorney general and lieutenant governor.
For the first time, the state Republican Party will not endorse any of the GOP candidates running to unseat Democratic Gov. Tony Evers this fall after former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch won the majority of votes at the state GOP party convention, but came about 6 percentage points short of the votes needed to secure the party’s endorsement and the resources that come with it.
