Mary Burke, Democrat Challenge to Scott Walker

Mary Burke, Democrat, is running for governor of Wisconsin.

What about Tom Barrett?

It doesn't seem right to have a gubernatorial election without Tom representing the Dems.

Oh well.

From USA Today:

Democrat Mary Burke announced her campaign for Wisconsin governor Monday, emphasizing job creation and her roots in the state as she aims at GOP incumbent Scott Walker.

...Burke, a former Wisconsin Commerce secretary, was an executive at Trek, the bicycle company founded by her father that employs nearly 1,000 workers in the state. She's the first Democrat to announce a campaign to take on Walker, whose push to end collective-bargaining rights for most state workers drew national attention on him and Wisconsin politics.

The Journal-Sentinel says Burke "becomes the instant Democratic favorite" in the 2014 governor's race.
I'm very happy with this "instant Democratic favorite."
