Congressman Tom Petri has jumped into the 2010 Wisconsin gubernatorial race.

On Friday Petri (R-Fond du Lac) endorsed Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker for governor.

"Since Scott took the reins of county government in 2002, he has slashed the county debt by over 10% and reduced the taxpayer-funded workforce by more than 20%. That is exactly the kind of leadership Wisconsin needs to recover from Gov. [Jim] Doyle’s recklessness," Petri said in a press release. "Scott is the best person to lead Wisconsin forward."
