MONROE - Rep. Brett Davis, R-Oregon, will be running for lieutenant governor, one of his staff members said Thursday.
Emily Loe, campaign manager for Davis, confirmed Thursday that Davis will be making his announcement starting with a kick-off at 9 a.m. Monday at the Capitol in Madison, followed by five more locations throughout the state next week.
"Each stop will be about a half hour, enough time for a meet and greet," Loe said.
Loe will be driving Davis on the two-day, six-city swing from Madison to Oconomowoc and Green Bay Monday, then to Wausau, Eau Claire and La Crosse Wednesday.
Davis will be doing telephone interviews while on the road, she said.
Davis will be back in Madison Tuesday attending legislative obligations.
On Wednesday night, Davis posted a message on Facebook that his big announcement was coming Feb. 22.
"He does his own Facebook," Loe said, with a laugh. "He's very good about texting."
Loe said Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker, who is running for governor in 2010, and Davis have worked closely together, but she did not expect Walker to make a formal endorsement of Davis before the Sept. 14 primary.
Davis previously announced he was gathering resources needed to be in a position to run a successful campaign for lieutenant governor.
"He has solid fund-raising numbers, well over $105,000 so far," Loe said, Thursday.
Davis has represented Green County and portions of Dane, Rock and Lafayette Counties in the State Assembly since his election in 2004.
He is a graduate of Monroe High School and the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.
Davis, his wife, Amy, and their three children live in Oregon.
