Press Releases

Following is the statement of Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Mike Tate on the news that Sen. John Lehman has picked up another 55 votes in the official county canvass.

Scott Walker's closest political aide has just been named in Milwaukee County Circuit Court Monday as the source of damaging revelations that undermine Walker's claim that he has cooperated with the John Doe criminal corruption probe into his current and former administrations.

A day after Scott Walker made an artful denial of wrongdoing and muddied his status as a target of prosecution, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin on Sunday released a letter to Scott Walker calling on Walker to produce evidence he had been exonerated in federal and state criminal corruption probes that already have resulted in 15 felony charges, 13 grants of immunity and two guilty pleas.

Following the breaking news of evidence that Scott Walker obstructed the John Doe corruption probe that has implicated dozens of his top political allies, Walker doubled-down on his self-serving lie that he had cooperated with the probe.

News is breaking that, contrary to his public claims of cooperation, Scott Walker resisted the corruption probe that has him in the crosshairs from the outset.

Following is the statement of Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Mike Tate following the release by the administration of Scott Walker of data in violation of the *Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002:

Following reports that Scott Walker’s criminal defense fund grew by $100,000 in May, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is today reporting major revelations in the John Doe criminal corruption probe, including Scott Walker’s mistaken admission that he is under investigation.

In the face of bombshell revelations in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel today raising questions about Scott Walker's role in a bid-rigging scheme, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin Tuesday released internal county documents directly contradicting Walker's explanation of his role in the scandal.

A breaking investigative report from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel suggests that Scott Walker is at the heart of the John Doe criminal corruption probe that has charged six Walker associates with 15 felonies.

Scott Walker has ducked, dodged and deflected any attempts to get straight answers and honest information from him about his knowledge of and/or involvement in crimes that were central to his rise to political power, so the Democratic Party of Wisconsin today released a fact sheet on Scott Walker’s Crime Stats.
