Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is on the campaign trail after formally launching his re-election campaign on Sunday. The governor made a stop at Brenner Tank in Fond du Lac Tuesday, flanked by his wife and two sons and Lieutenant governor Rebecca Kleefisch. Walker told company workers that winning a third term isn’t going to be easy. He says there will be a coordinated attack against him by Washington-based special interests. Walker is calling for an “army of grass-roots volunteers” to combat “The big government special interests in Washington. At least a dozen Democrats, including the state superintendent of schools, two state lawmakers, former office holders, political activists and newcomers, have said they are running or are considering getting in. Walker is looking to become the first Wisconsin governor since Tommy Thompson in 1998 and only the second in state history to be elected to a third four-year term.
