Sen. Fitzgerald: GOP landscape "starting to change"

Senate Minority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said he is seeing a change in the state's electoral landscape as he tours Wisconsin recruiting candidates and workers for the fall's state Senate campaigns.

"The landscape out there is starting to change," Fitzgerald assured delegates, attributing that to both the presidential election and increased grassroots efforts.

He then launched into an attack on the majority Senate Democrats, accussing them of attempting to overhaul health care and attack business.

"They can't see the link between what a businessman does, and that is create jobs," the Juneau Republican said.

He closed his speech by advocating for candidates in the targeted Senate districts, including incumbents Alberta Darling, Sheila Harsdorf and Dan Kapanke, and challengers Ben Bakke, Chad Fradette, Tim Lakin, and Tom Tiffany.
