Tommy Thompson Announces Senate Campaign
Former Gov. Tommy Thompson is trying to fend off criticism from the left and right as he jumps into the race for U.S. Senate. Thompson's campaign kicked off Thursday night in Waukesha.
Lively music warmed up the crowd at Thompson's rally. It was mainly an older crowd with plenty of Thompson's former campaign donors, cabinet secretaries and political aides from his days as governor. Thompson bragged about his accomplishments at the State Capitol, but says he wants to go to the U.S. Capitol to look ahead.
Thompson first has to get by at least two other conservative Republican contenders for the Senate seat being vacated by Democrat Herb Kohl. But Thompson says he's the true conservative.
Democrats have started to target Thompson, including by asking for his latest financial disclosure form. Thompson admits he's made money in the private sector since his days in the Bush cabinet.
State Democratic Party chairman Mike Tate also says Thompson has been flip-flopping on some big issues, criticizing the 2009 stimulus bill, but holding Thursday's rally at a company that got stimulus funds.
