“We’re not just satisfied with where we’re at. We’re ready to keep moving forward, because there’s more to be done,” Walker said.

Walker made his announcement at Weldall Manufacturing, where the campaign estimated 400 people attended to show support. Outside the facility, a large crowd organized by Voces de la Frontera protested. Many carried signs in support of immigration and refugees, and those that read ‘low-wage Walker.”

Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Martha Laning in a statement accused Walker of trying to reinvent himself as he seeks another term.

“Kicking off another campaign today, Scott Walker said that after seven years, he now wants to begin to focus on the rest of us in Wisconsin, but people don’t buy his latest ‘reinvented’ style,” Laning said. “It’s appalling that Walker has not been focused on all the people of Wisconsin all along.
