including some who had started raising funds, I think there will be a couple of names in the Democratic Primary for the Governorship.

Bob Harlow is one of them making the rounds.

Dana Wachs

Bob Harlow

Andy Gronik

Others are showing interest but there is a clear concern among many that they don't feel they can compete with Walkers money.

Several other potential Democratic candidates, including state schools Superintendent Tony Evers, state Sen. Kathleen Vinehout, D-Alma, former state Rep. Brett Hulsey and activist Mike McCabe have all registered campaign committees, but have yet to announce an official run.

The primary isn't for another year. August of 2018.

I donate monthly to Tammy Baldwin and Mark Pocan, not much, but what I can afford. I'll start donating to whoever I think will be the best lock to get Walker out, once the final contender is made.
