Gingrich to Campaign for Duffy in Wisconsin Race

July 8, 2010

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is the latest national figure to lend his support to Republican Sean Duffy’s campaign for congress.

Gingrich will appear at an event for the former Ashland County district attorney on Friday morning at a banquet hall in Wausau. Admission is $25.

Duffy campaign manager Matt Seaholm says the event will be an opportunity for voters to, “Hear from Sean and the former Speaker on how to get America working again.”

Duffy is running to replace Democratic U.S. Rep. David Obey, who decided against running for re-election. If he wins the Republican primary, he would face state Sen. Julie Lassa in November.

Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty have already backed Duffy.
