Capitol Notes: Did The Wisconsin Gubernatorial Debates Sway Voters?

Gov. Scott Walker (left) and Democratic challenger Tony Evers (right)

Gov. Scott Walker and his Democratic challenger Tony Evers squared off for their second and final debate Friday night before the Nov. 6 election. The candidates debated health care, education, immigration and the economy — and repeated the same arguments they've consistently made throughout the campaign.  

Walker and Evers are locked in a tight race, with roughly a week to go until the election. In this week's "Capitol Notes" conversation, Marti Mikkelson asked JR Ross of wispolitics.com whether he thinks the candidates were able to sway voters with their arguments.

Marti was a reporter with WUWM from 1999 to 2021.
