Wisconsin Republicans Hold State GOP Convention

Republicans in Wisconsin gathered on May 12-13 in Wisconsin Dells for the annual state GOP convention. About 600 attendees met in Wisconsin Dells to hear from the state’s Republican leaders.

The convention focused on celebrating the Wisconsin GOP’s victories in the 2016 election, such as U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson’s re-election and Wisconsin’s vote for President Donald Trump. However, speakers also looked forward to challenges in 2018, including the attorney general race against Republican incumbent Brad Schimel, Gov. Scott Walker’s re-election bid and the race against Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin.

Speakers at the event included Gov. Scott Walker, House Speaker Paul Ryan and U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, Attorney General Brad Schimel and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester).

Wisconsin Democrats will hold their convention on June 2-3 in Middleton.
