Kleefisch to run for lieutenant governor

By Jim Butman

Former WISN-Channel 12 television news anchor Rebecca Kleefisch announced her candidacy for Wisconsin lieutenant governor today.

Kleefisch, a Republican, said she will seek the on an agenda of "kitchen table common sense."

She said, "Wisconsin families make tough decisions around their kitchen tables every day, but government doesn't seem to feel the same pressures you and I do. When you're in the middle of a recession, you don't use accounting tricks to fake a balanced budget. You balance it. You don't tax and regulate businesses out of the state. You create ways for them to grow. And you sure don't disregard the will of the people who want smaller, more accountable government. You pay attention."

The Oconomowoc resident is the wife of Republican state Rep. Joel Kleefisch.
