Rebecca Kleefisch’s campaign for governor launched a new ad this week featuring Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling. In the spot, Sheriff Schmaling says “Crime has never been worse in Wisconsin” and that “law enforcement cannot do their jobs when they are being undermined by politicians like Joe Biden and Tony Evers.” Schmaling then says more than 40 sheriffs, the Fraternal Order of Police and the Milwaukee Police Association have endorsed Kleefisch. Throughout the GOP primary, Kleefisch has placed significant blame on Evers for rising violent crime and a lack of funding for law enforcement in Wisconsin. Her new ad is the latest in a line of attacks on the Evers administration for their perceived failure to keep Wisconsinites safe.
Kleefisch is running against Tim Michels, Kevin Nicholson, and Timothy Ramthun in the August 9th Republican primary for the opportunity to face off against Tony Evers in the November general election.
