State firefighter union chief enters race for governor

November 13, 2017 By WRN Contributor

Mitchell

The head of the state firefighters’ union is the latest Democrat to run against Governor Scott Walker next fall. Mahlon Mitchell of Fitchburg announced his bid Monday morning, telling the Wisconsin State Journal it’s “time for a change” after eight years of the Republican Walker.

Mitchell, president of the Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin, ran for lieutenant governor in the 2012 recall elections, when he lost to Republican Rebecca Kleefisch.

Mitchell joins a crowded field of Democratic  candidates that includes state public school Superintendent Tony Evers, former state party chairman Matt Flynn, and state lawmakers Kathleen Vinehout and Dana Wachs.
