It’s a “no” from Scott Walker. The Republican former Wisconsin governor shooting down speculation he might run again, in a social media post over the weekend. Walker, who lost to Democrat Tony Evers in 2018, said he will continue his work as President of Young America’s Foundation, the conservative youth organization he has headed since 2021. Walker didn’t rule out a future run for elected office, saying he’s “a quarter century younger than Joe Biden” and has “plenty of time.” Walker promoted his work with YAF and said he and wife Tonette will work to elect “a commonsense conservative” as governor next year. Evers won’t be seeking a third term. Two Republicans, Washington County Executive Josh Schoeman and CEO and former Navy SEAL Bill Berrien were already running prior to Evers’ announcement last week. Lieutenant Governor Sarah Rodriguez is the first Democrat in a field that’s certain to grow. Partisan primary elections take place in August 2026.
