Another 27 percent said they were not sure. The poll, which was conducted earlier this week, showed 40 percent of likely primary voters preferred Clarke compared to 20 percent for Gallagher, 10 percent for Tiffany and 3 percent for Hovde. "None of them energizes or excites the base voter like I do." "This poll has to give the (Republican National Committee) and the National Republican Senatorial Committee sleepless nights when somebody outside their establishment circle wipes away these other GOP potential primary candidates," Clarke said in a tweet. Others considering the race include Franklin businessman Scott Mayer, Madison businessman Eric Hovde and former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke.Ĭlarke pointed to a poll released Friday by the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling showing he was the favorite candidate among GOP voters in Wisconsin by a two-to-one margin. Tom Tiffany, R-Minocqua, has laid the groundwork for a possible campaign. While no Republicans have officially declared to run against Baldwin, U.S. "We need enough time where we can vet and evaluate the various candidates who might get in, and then unite and rally behind the best conservative candidate who can win." "I think it would be selfish … to string people along for six months and then decide I'm not going to do it," Gallagher said. In an interview on WISN-AM in Milwaukee, Gallagher said he wanted to make his announcement early enough to give others a chance to weigh the race. Gallagher's decision to stay out of the race could open the door for any number of Republicans to get in. Several Republicans had been hoping to recruit Gallagher to challenge Baldwin, viewing him as the party's best shot at flipping control of the U.S.
"Accomplishing this mission and serving Wisconsin’s 8th District deserve my undivided attention." "I have a rare, bipartisan opportunity in the 118th Congress to help restore American strength, prevent war in the Pacific, and defend our basic freedoms from communist aggression," Gallagher said. House, where he's currently chairing the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, a panel created this session by House Republicans. Gallagher said in a written statement Friday morning that he plans to remain in the U.S. Senate next year, leaving the field wide open for Republicans as they search for someone to challenge Democratic U.S.
Mike Gallagher of Green Bay announced he won't run for U.S.
