The next gubernatorial race may include a well known Republican formerly from Janesville.

Republican Party of Wisconsin Executive Director Mark Jefferson tells WCLO's Stan Milam Show, former First Congressional Representative Mark Neumann may consider running. Jefferson says Neumann is popular beyond the First District, judging from his narrow defeat in the U.S. Senate race against Russ Feingold. Neumann represented the First District from 1995-1999.

Jefferson says Neumann will likely make his decision later this summer.

In light of the secret right kabaal which has been in effect since the Reagan days it is useful to have additional candidates in the mix. Frankly Scott Walker's association with the Red Cross indicates a potential tie to the Knights of Malta. His association with Marquette University suggests the Jesuit connection as well. http://secretrightmovie.com/ Vet out anyone who has not called out and rejected these evil duplicitous individuals.

If you are a "conservative" - you need to know how you have been manipulated in the past by what is in this movie. Learn about the dirt on the Heritage Foundation, Paul Wyrich, Pat Buchanan, Phylis Schaffley, Tim LaHaye. The movie exposes the CNP (Counsel for National Policy).

Mr. Neumann represents all of the negative political attributes that the public voted out of office last November. It does not say much for the Republican Party if he's the best they have to offer. It's important to note that Mr. Neumann consistently lost in his hometown.

He built a home for someone I know. They would not recommend him to anyone for a new home. They also said he was personally hard to work with.

Living in Kenosha County, I know Mark would not win in this county. His name is mudd in Kenosha because of Neuman Homes and all the empty lots that now bankrupt business left in the area.

Congressman Neumann was elected in the 1994 contract with America republican take over of congress. President Clinton realized a balanced budget was popular and jumped on board. After a few government shut downs battles, we did have a few years of a surplus in the budget. Until the 2000 election and President Bush needed to get elected and gave it away with a tax cuts instead of paying down the debt. Mark Neumann was right, we could and did balance the federal budget. I would like to hear his ideas about Wisconsin.
