Walker Brings Campaign to the QC

America needs new leadership and big bold ideas. That's according to Wisconsin governor Scott Walker who brought his campaign for president to the Davenport today.

To a standing room only crowd of about 300 at Modern Woodmen Park. Walker reminded the crowd of his success in a previously blue state - winning two terms, and winning a recall election.
And he promised to return power from Washington to the states, especially for education.

Set high standards at the local level, no Common Core.

Just last Monday, Walker announced his candidacy for the republican nomination, and has since campaigned in 4 states before coming to Iowa for the weekend.

His trip across the state ends on Sunday in Dubuque. 

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
