Another Republican joined the 2010 lieutenant governor race Monday and kicked off a six-city tour to promote his campaign.
State Rep. Brett Davis, R-Oregon, declared his run at the state Capitol and said he aims to reduce government spending and taxation if elected. In a statement, he said he vows to cut $40 million in state spending during his first year.
""To get our economy back on track we need to lower the tax burden for families and businesses, and that starts with eliminating wasteful government spending,"" he said in a statement.
Davis is currently serving his third term as a state representative. He joins three other Republicans, including Superior Mayor Dave Ross, in the race. On the Democratic side, four candidates have filed papers, including state Sen. Spencer Coggs, D-Milwaukee.
