Scott Walker for America

Scott Walker was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 1967. Being the son of a Pastor, Walker had a very religious upbringing. When he was just 10 years old he moved to Delavan, Wisconsin with his family. Walkers interest in politics was first shown in high school where he was selected to represent Wisconsin for the Boys Nation. In case you don't know what Boys Nation is (I certainly did not) it is an annual forum focused on civic training, leadership and Americanism lead by the American Legion. The event lasts two weeks and takes place in Washington D.C. It was an honor for Walker to be selected for Boys Nation and he was also honored at the event by having the opportunity to meet Ronald Reagan who made a large impact on him and became his role model. 

Walker attended Marquette University from 1986 to 1990, and was actively involved in student government. However, he did not graduate. During his senior year at Marquette, Walker was offered a full-time job at the American Red Cross where he handled marketing and fundraising efforts and before he knew it he was married and having kids. 

Many have been skeptical about Walker not gradating from Marquette. However, Walker has always stayed positive and honest about the issue explaining that he did not attend college just to get an education and what he really wanted was a job. That is why when he was offered a full time position at the American Red Cross he couldn’t pass it up.

Today, Walker is Married to his wife Tonette and they have two sons, Matt and Alex. 

Scott Walker is very qualified and experienced with a strong work ethic making him a great Republican candidate. 

Walker was inaugurated as Wisconsin’s 45th Governor on January 3, 2011. From there, he proposed reforms that eliminated Wisconsin’s $3.6 billion budget deficit and did so without raising taxes while giving school districts as well as local governments the tools needed to balance their budgets. The changes made by Walker saved Wisconsin taxpayers more than $2 billion! 

Walker brought Wisconsin’s unemployment rate down to 4.6% (the lowest it has been since 2008) and Wisconsin gained over 140,000 jobs. 

Walker made history on June 5, 2012 by becoming the first governor in America to win a recall election.

Walker was reelected as Wisconsin’s 45th Governor on November 4, 2014. He continued to grant rights to employee citizens of Wisconsin thus making Wisconsin the 25th Right to Work state in The United States. Today, he is committed to reduce taxes for Wisconsin’s hardworking taxpayers and government. He is also committed to advancing reforms to provide even more opportunity and prosperity for everybody. 

Not only does Walker want rights for workers, he also fights for educational opportunities. For example, in December of 2013, Walker signed a bill which increased the requirements for math and science credits in high school education. 

Walker is also memorable for his Political Success in the blue state of Wisconsin and he won not one, but three gubernatorial races in four years, proving how powerful and credible he really is.
