Former Governor Walker asked to give VP nominating speech for Mike Pence at RNC
The top leadership of the Wisconsin Republican Party will be in Charlotte, and two Wisconsin business people will be speaking at the Republican National Convention.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Republicans will re-nominate Donald Trump for president during the scaled-down Republican National Convention that starts Monday, Aug. 24, with just north of 300 people in attendance in Charlotte, North Carolina. Most of the Wisconsin delegates will stay home.
Vice President Mike Pence asked former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker to give the VP's nominating speech. Picking Walker shows how important Wisconsin is.
As is said by both parties, the road to the White House leads through the Badger State.

The top leadership of the Wisconsin Republican Party will be in Charlotte, and two Wisconsin businesspeople will be speaking at the Republican National Convention. John Peterson owns a metal fabrication company, and Debbie Flood is president of another Wisconsin manufacturing and steel company.
Republican delegate Laurie Wolf attended the 2012 and 2016 conventions but will attend the 2020 convention from home in Milwaukee County.
"It's really a huge honor to be elected by your peers, to go to the convention," said Wolf. "It's an experience like nothing else. It's kind of surreal."

Wolf will watch the RNC and join Zoom meetings.
"It's a little bit of a let-down, but I know it`s the right call," said Wolf.
Wolf will join with other delegates Thursday as Donald Trump accepts the GOP nomination from the White House. After a week of attacks on the president, Republicans will have the chance to fight back.

"The current president has cloaked American darkness for much too long," said Joe Biden. "Too much anger, too much fear, too much division. Here and now I give you my word, I will draw on the best of us, not the worst."
Republicans will have the chance to fight back.
"You will hear about the success of the Trump administration, about a bold vision for our future, about the promise to greatness in this nation, about our heroes, about those who have build this country, protect it," said Erin Perrine, Trump campaign director of press communications. "We have a great story to share with the people of Wisconsin, and while Joe Biden tries to play the Hillary Clinton playbook, where he doesn't go into Wisconsin, we're going to be there talking directly with the folks of the Badger State."
President Trump tweeted out that Biden disrespected Wisconsin by not visiting the state, with the DNC in Milwaukee, but Wisconsin Democrats reacting to Pence's visit next week accused the GOP of failed leadership and not listening to health experts.
