MADISON (WKOW) – Governor-elect Tony Evers made his first appearance after his mid-win victory on Wednesday afternoon, just before his opponent, Scott Walker, conceded it.
Deputy Governor General elected Mandela Barnes and elected representative Shelia Stubbs (D-Madison) joined Evers at the Boys & Girls Club of Dane County.
Walker conceded around 14 hours after his election campaign, they waited for additional information on nearly 47,000 mail ballots in Milwaukee County, after reports were reported, of which about 2,000 were damaged. . After discovering that the newsletters would not radically change the results, Walker issued a statement.
"Thanks to Tony Evers for his kind comments on our call," Walker wrote. "I have offered the full support of my associates and our firm early in the transition process … I have had the honor of serving your governor for nearly eight years."
Evers responded to their phone call and said he was delighted to be able to count on his support.
"He was very kind and talked about this transition on how his staff will be here to create a new government. It was a very good conversation, "said Evers.
Evers also added that he would publish additional information on his transition team in the coming days. The Democrat also announced plans to work with the Republican-controlled legislature to find common ground with Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald and Speaker Robin Vos.
"I know both of them very well, so it will not be like we really need to know each other. We want to talk to them about how we can set the stage so that we can find common ground on these important issues. "
President Vos said he was ready to find common ground but would not give in to the reforms already undertaken.
"We are not compromising any of the principles we have," Vos said. "We will not grow our government or the success we have in the last eight years."
Evers Deputy Director of Communications said he hoped the president would not create division hours after the elections.
"These are the same desperate antics of politicians determined to stay in power after eight years," said Britt Cudaback. "The people of Wisconsin deserve better from our government and that's why they voted for a change yesterday."
The President also said he would be willing to change power in the executive branch.
"Perhaps we have made mistakes by giving Governor Walker too much power, I would be willing to look at this to see if there are areas in which should change," Vos said. "But it's too early to do it until we talk to Senator Fitzgerald."
Evers is expected to be sworn in the governor's office on Jan. 7.
