6 takeaways from the Wisconsin governor’s debate between Tony Evers and Tim Michels
Democratic Gov. Tony Evers of Wisconsin and his Republican challenger, Tim Michels, clashed in a debate Friday night over the swing state’s election administration, as Michels vowed to sign into law a series of restrictive voting measures that the incumbent has vetoed. The stylistic differences between the two nominees were on display in Madison in their first and only debate.
“I’m a commonsense guy, and I’ve listened to the people, and I’ll always listen to the people,” Michels said. Evers has pushed state GOP lawmakers to support changing state law to allow for a statewide referendum on the 1849 ban. He recently called lawmakers into a special session urging them to allow citizens to put forth such a referendum, but the GOP-led Assembly and Senate both adjourned in less than 30 seconds without taking action.
