The Candidates

Governor:

Mary Burke (D) Mary Burke supports increasing the minimum wage to $10.10 so that people who work full time don’t have to rely on government assistance to survive. She supports the rights of workers to engage in collective bargaining and stick together for the fair wages and benefits that they deserve. She believes that education is the best anti-poverty program and has a plan to make higher education more affordable for every student in Wisconsin.

Scott Walker (R) Governor Scott Walker’s promise in 2010 to add 250,000 jobs by 2013 was broken – he wasn’t able to add even half that amount. Wisconsin is lagging behind the national economy and is dead last in the Midwest in job growth. In 2011, he signed a law that stripped Wisconsin public workers of their right to stick together and bargain for a better life. If his tenure continues, he may do the same for every worker in Wisconsin. He opposes raising the state’s minimum wage from its current level of $7.25, which forces people who work full time to rely on government assistance to survive.
