Emails Show Walker Fixated with Public Image

In dozens of newly-release email exchanges from 2010, when Scott Walker (R) was county executive and running for governor, he “appeared equally fixated on cultivating his political image and tackling the substantive demands of a large local government,” the Washington Post reports.

“Walker, in effect, operated as the county executive, chief of staff, press secretary and campaign strategist all at once. He ordered up briefing documents, spun out talking points, recruited the help of a local conservative talk-show host and even wrote a quote for a state lawmaker to issue in her own words.”
