New GOP candidate Kleefisch enters 2010 race for lieutenant governor

A new Republican candidate for lieutenant governor entered the race Tuesday.

Rebecca Kleefisch, a UW-Madison graduate and former WISN-TV news anchor, said she plans to run her campaign on an agenda of ""kitchen table common sense.""

In her announcement she said she has a ""clear vision"" of her role as lieutenant governor and said she will use her experience in marketing to draw jobs to Wisconsin.

""The lieutenant governor is the marketing VP. We need someone who understands how to craft compelling, articulate messages for why job creators should come to this state, start up in this state and expand in this state,"" she said in a statement.
