Most of the working groups said the GOP lawmakers are more than welcome to come to their events. Sheila Cochran, secretary-treasurer at the Milwaukee Area Labor Council, said Republicans would participate, but noted that they are rarely presented in previous years, and is not expected this year.
Hinderholtz Rich, president of Racine Festival work in the area, said Sen. Vos and Van Wanggaard were invited. Wanggaard He received a civilian when he came last year as a candidate.
