MADISON - In a new campaign video, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker rides his Harley, touts his record and makes clear he wants to run for a third term in 2018.

"At the end of each day, after all of the miles and conversations, I can't wait for the alarm to ring to see what opportunities tomorrow will bring," Walker says in the video. "Are you with me?"

The 1-minute video and an accompanying digital ad campaign are the clearest signs yet that the GOP governor will seek re-election. An official announcement is expected soon.

A number of Democrats are lining up against Walker, including: state schools Superintendent Tony Evers; Milwaukee businessman Andy Gronik; Rep. Dana Wachs of Eau Claire; Sen. Kathleen Vinehout of Alma; political activist Mike McCabe; and former state Democratic Chairman Matt Flynn.

Several other Democrats are considering a run, including: businessman Kurt Kober, firefighter union President Mahlon Mitchell and former state Rep. Kelda Helen Roys of Madison.

First elected in 2010, Walker won a 2012 recall election and a 2014 re-election race before joining and then dropping out of the 2015 GOP presidential primary.

Walker just signed a budget that holds property taxes down while providing a funding increase for K-12 schools. The budget avoids raising gas taxes but also puts off or nixes some road projects like the I-94 East-West project in Milwaukee.

State Democratic Party spokeswoman Melanie Conklin said Walker could have made his motorcycle ride more realistic in the video.

“An accurate video would show him being jostled around on Wisconsin’s crumbling roads that are the fourth worst in the nation," she said.
