Madison – Moving ahead aggressively with a run for U.S. Senate, former Gov. Tommy G. Thompson announced the co-chairmen of his campaign Wednesday to show he is serious about a run.
The co-chairmen will be Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen, whose father was an aide to Thompson, and Jim Klauser, a top aide to Thompson during his time as governor. They were first reported by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Wednesday.
“I’m honored to have the support and commitment of Jim and J.B.,” Thompson said in a statement. “We need to get America working again. We can do better, and it begins with getting government out of the way of creating the jobs that make our families and communities stronger.”
