MADISON - Former Republican Gov. Scott Walker has a new gig charging five figures to give speeches about politics and his time in public office in Wisconsin.

Walker announced Thursday he would be joining Worldwide Speakers Group, which coordinates speaking engagements for former White House press secretary Sean Spicer, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina.

Walker's speaking fee ranges between $15,000 and $25,000 per engagement. According to the group's website, Walker's speech topics include:

Leadership Lessons: How big, bold reforms work.

Insights on the current political (and future) landscape in America

Crisis Management: How to turn a serious challenge into a major opportunity

Power to the People: Sending resources and responsibilities to the states.

The Power of Faith in Times of Crisis

Walker was first elected as governor in 2010 and in 2012 became the first governor in America to survive a recall election, which was prompted over his signature legislation known as Act 10 that dramatically curtailed collective bargaining for most public employees.

The controversy over the measure limiting union power and subsequent attempt to remove him from the governor's office helped catapult Walker into the national spotlight, leading to a brief unsuccessful run for president in 2015.

He ran for a third term as governor but lost to Democrat Tony Evers, a former schools superintendent, who took office in January.

Walker's salary as governor was $146,786 when he left office, according to the Legislative Reference Bureau.
