Former Governor Tommy Thompson is making his first formal presidential campaign stop in Wisconsin today, asking for support in his long-shot bid for the nation's top job.
He's due to speak in Milwaukee this morning at Messmer High School, a Catholic school involved in the pioneering voucher program that Thompson helped create as governor. It allows low income families in Milwaukee to send their children to private schools at state expense.
Thompson says he's excited to tell his constituents about his decision to jump into the race.
