HELP YOU PLAN AHEAD. TONIGHT, THE FIRST CANDIDATE IN THE NEXT RACE FOR WISCONSIN GOVERNOR. REPUBLICAN JOSH SHEWMAN FILED PAPERWORK LAST WEEK FOR THE 2026 ELECTION. HE MADE THE OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT AT AN EVENT IN WEST BEND TODAY. THAT IS WHERE WE FIND 12 NEWS T.J. DYSART, T.J. SHEWMAN HAS NEVER RUN A STATEWIDE RACE BEFORE. CYREIA. HUNDREDS OF SUPPORTERS GATHERING HERE IN WEST BEND. JUST HOURS AGO, AS THE WASHINGTON COUNTY EXECUTIVE OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED HIS RUN FOR GOVERNOR. THERE’S NO DOUBT AS TO WHAT WE’RE CALLED LINCOLN COUNTY, ONE OF WISCONSIN’S MOST REPUBLICAN COUNTIES, WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP WINNING 67% OF THE VOTE IN 2024. SHEWMAN WAS ELECTED COUNTY EXECUTIVE IN 2020 AFTER SERVING AS COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR AND COUNTY MANAGER FOR SIX YEARS. THE ARMY NATIONAL GUARD VETERAN, NOW LOOKING TO GET TO MADISON COME 2026. NEIGHBORS. IT IS WITH THE LORD BY MY SIDE WITH GREAT HUMILITY AS HIS SERVANT AND GREAT PRIDE IN OUR STATE. TOGETHER WITH ALL OF YOU HERE TODAY, I’M EXCITED TO SAY THAT TODAY I’M OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCING MY RUN TO SERVE AS THE NEXT GOVERNOR OF OUR GREAT STATE OF WISCONSIN. LET’S TURN WISCONSIN RED. T.J. SO FAR, THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE IN THE 2026 GUBERNATORIAL RACE. WISCONSIN GOVERNOR TONY EVERS, STILL UNDECIDED IF HE WILL SEEK REELECTION. HE SAID HE’LL MAKE THAT DECISION AFTER THE STATE BUDGET IS FINALIZED. SHEWMAN IS ALSO UNLIKELY TO BE THE ONLY REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE IN THIS ELECTION. OF COURSE, WE WILL BE FOLLOWING IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
