She's got the pedigree. Lieutenant governor under Tony Evers. She's got firsthand experience with what it takes to lead the state in the right direction.

He's got the same Lieutenant Governor credentials. My concern about him is his track record in previous elections. I think he's batting .500, but I'd have to dig into it.

It's a crowed Democratic field. I've got some homework to do.
