Gov. Scott Walker plans to participate in his first live online question-and-answer session Friday, he announced on social media Wednesday.

The Facebook Live event starts at 8:15 a.m. Questions can be submitted before the event on his Facebook page: facebook.com/governorscottwalker/

“Governor Walker’s always looking for new ways to connect with the citizens of the state, and this Facebook Live Q&A presents a great opportunity to do that,” spokesman Tom Evenson said.

Facebook launched its live video streaming service for public figures in August 2015 and then made it available to the general public in January.

Other politicians who have used the social media platform to connect with the public include House Speaker Paul Ryan of Janesville, who did a Q&A with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich in March that has been viewed more than 161,000 times. Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner held his first Facebook Live Q&A last week.

Walker’s Facebook announcement elicited a range of responses, including several serious policy-related questions.
