Gov. Scott Walker visits Prince William Republicans Aug. 29

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker Aug. 29 visited Prince William County to participate in a GOP cookout and rally organized by the Prince William Area Young Republican Club and Prince William County Republican Committee.

The event was part of a visit through Virginia that the Walker campaign is using to collect signatures to get on the ballot for Virginia’s Republican primary on March 1, 2016, also known as Super Tuesday, a news release said.

Walker rallied the crowd by discussing his successes in Wisconsin fighting for government reform and a balanced budget, along the way to winning two elections for Governor, as well as a bruising recall election in 2012. The Governor said he would improve our health care system, and keep America safe by fighting and rooting out terrorism.

The event included remarks from Prince William County Republican Committee Chairman Bill Card, Prince William Area Young Republican Club Chairman Terrence Boulden, Coles School Board candidate Willie Deustch, School Board Chairman candidate Tim Singstock, State Senate District 36 candidate and Dumfries Mayor Jerry Foreman, and Gainesville Supervisor Pete Candland.

Walker was introduced by his Virginia campaign chairman and State Senator Mark Obenshain (R-Harrisburg), according to the news release.
