Scott Walker to take new job, won’t run for office in 2022
Posted 10:14 am, July 15, 2019, by AP Wire Service

MADISON — Former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said he won’t run for office again in 2022 because he has accepted a new full-time job running a group based in Washington, D.C., that promotes conservative ideas among young people.

The Republican had been openly considering running for his old job as governor or for U.S. Senate in 2022. But Walker told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in a story published Monday that his job as president of the Young America’s Foundation, which is based in the Washington area, will make it impossible for him to run for office in 2022.

“Starting January 2021, this will be full-time,” Walker told the Journal Sentinel of his new job. “I won’t be engaged in anything else. This will be my sole occupation.”

I was so disappointed when he was defeated.
