DNC chair to headline Wisconsin Democratic Convention

This year's Democratic Party of Wisconsin Convention will host Democratic National Committee Chair Tim Kaine as the keynote speaker.

The convention, which will take place June 11-12, will also feature DNC Political Director Clyde Williams and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Mona Sutphen.

Gov. Jim Doyle, who gave the keynote speech at the 2009 convention in Green Bay, will make another appearance this year, along with Democratic gubernatorial candidate and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty will headline the WISGOP State Convention May 21 in Milwaukee. The Republican Party of Wisconsin deemed Pawlenty a ""potential presidential contender in 2012,"" according to their website.

U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., who will be up for re-election against recently resigned state Secretary of Commerce Dick Leinenkugel, will also attend the convention.

The DPW Convention will be held at the Madison Marriott West Hotel in Middleton, and tickets to the event cost $20.
