Published at
ABC News(MADISON, Wis.) — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on Tuesday announced the formation of a political fundraising committee that will help him build a potential presidential campaign.
The Wisconsin Republican made the announcement in a statement Tuesday, saying that the group, Our American Revival, “encompasses the shared values that make our country great; limiting the powers of the federal government to those defined in the Constitution while creating a leaner, more efficient, more effective and more accountable government to the American people.” Former Republican National Committee Political Director Rick Wiley will serve as the committee’s executive director.
“To move this country forward we need new, fresh leadership from outside Washington,” Walker said. “We need leaders who are bold. That’s how we build a better future for our children and grandchildren.” He went on to highlight his success in doing just that in Wisconsin, saying that the same work “can be done across this country with the right leadership.”
The announcement comes after Walker spent the weekend at the Iowa Freedom Summit, where numerous potential Republican candidates for 2016 spoke.
