MADISON - A campaign ad released early Wednesday morning seems to point toward a likely run at re-election for Gov. Scott Walker.
The 60-second YouTube video shows Walker jogging, riding a motorcycle across Wisconsin, touring manufacturing facilities, and other various stops, many from his time as governor. It also includes a new campaign logo, with Walker's name morphing into a "W" and the slogan "forward" underneath.
Walker hasn't formally announced a bid for re-election yet, nor does the ad itself. However, a source with knowledge about the topic told Newswatch 12 that an announcement from Walker is "forthcoming." The ad ends with Walker asking viewers, "Are you with me?" while riding on his Harley-Davidson.
