In one year, Scott Walker has torn apart our state: months of job losses, the biggest cuts to education in Wisconsin's history, painful cuts to health care. We face serious challenges that we must solve together, but Scott Walker has instead chosen to drive people apart.

My choices as your governor will be different than Scott Walker's. I know Wisconsin is a place where we can have good paying jobs, a clean environment, successful schools and affordable health care.

As the County Executive for the state's second-largest county for 14 years, I know we only solve problems when people sit down, work together and find solutions. That's my record. When I'm governor, this is how we'll solve the problems facing our state -- together.
