Tim John, an Oconomowoc resident and president of a Milwaukee printing company, announced his candidacy Friday as a Democrat for the 2010 governor's race.
According to John's campaign website, he graduated from Marquette University and now owns the Milwaukee-based printing company Blue Mound Graphics.
In a statement, John said if elected governor his number-one priority would be reducing unemployment ""one job at a time.""
""Instead of burdening future generations with this worsening problem, we will discover solutions through personal involvement, hard work, and Main Street ingenuity. We must work in concert to solve this problem,"" he said in the statement.
John's announcement comes on the heels of Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett's announcement of his candidacy for governor.
On the Republican side, Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker and former Congressman Mark Neumann are the front-runners.
