Recall Campaigns

Over one million signatures have been collected to recall Governor Scott Walker! That's double the 540,208  signatures required to recall Walker and nearly the amount of people who voted for him. Walker didn't challenge a single signature.

Recall campaigns successfully recalled five other Republicans in January 2012 as well:

• Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch - 845,000+ (540,208 required)
• Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald - 20,600+ signatures (16,742 required)
• Senator Terry Moulton (Chippewa Falls) - 21,000+ signatures
• Senator Pam Galloway (Wausau) - 21,000+ signatures
• Senator Van Wanggaard (Racine) - 24,000+ signatures

Primaries will take place on May 8 with general recall elections on June 5. For more information, see the Recall Elections page.

Below is information on the recall campaigns that led to the elections.

WisconsinRecall.net is organizing efforts to recall the Republicans who lied to Wisconsin and voted to strip collective bargaining rights from public workers, as well as Gov. Scott Walker for refusing to negotiate with public workers and opponents of his bill, playing dirty political tricks, and listening more to out-of-state billionaires like the Koch brothers than Wisconsinites. More information on volunteering and status can be found at RecallTheRepublican8.com.
