Lt. Governor Lawton Selected For Spot In Clinton Campaign; See You At the DPW Convention!
A bit of inside baseball here, but the timing of this announcement from Lt. Governor Barbara Lawton is interesting seeing that today is the first day of the annual convention for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. It’s a great piece of news from Lawton, and not completely surprising that one of the few women in the executive branch of Wisconsin government would support the sole female candidate for President.
As it usually goes, campaign co-chairs and the like are usually brought up to Washington D.C. if and when the candidate they pulled for wins, which would create an interesting situation here in Wisconsin were Sen. Clinton to win in 2008. Who would replace Lawton, assuming everything worked out as predicted, as Lt. Governor? It will be interesting to hear more about this over the course of the weekend and see where it goes.
Lt. Governor Lawton is one of the best and brightest leaders in Wisconsin, and she should be congratulated for being selected for an important position within a top tiered candidates campaign organization.
One a side note, if you make it by the convention this weekend in Milwaukee at the Hilton, be sure to stop by the 4th CD area on the floor and say hi!
