Foxconn Creates A Job
for Top Scott Walker Campaign Consultant
Synergy Walker-Style as Firm Lobbying for Massive State Subsidy for Foxconn Hires Governors Campaign Manager, Head of Presidential Run PAC

MADISON, Wis. Any doubt campaign politics is the driving force behind Gov. Scott Walker gambling $3 billion on a subsidy for Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Foxconn has been dispelled by the creation of a single job. According to a report from Wispolitics.com, the lobbying firm hired by Foxconn has brought on Keith Gilkes, Walkers longtime campaign manager and the head of the Unintimidated PAC that supported his presidential ambitions, to do public affairs and communications.
Scott Walkers longtime campaign manager working with the firm lobbying for the state subsidy for Foxconn epitomizes how Scott Walker operates, commented One Wisconsin Now Executive Director Scot Ross. With this guy its all about his political ambitions and his next campaign. His scheme to deliver the largest state subsidy to a foreign corporation in history is no different.
Campaign finance reports for Walkers gubernatorial campaign show he has paid the consulting firm run by Gilkes nearly $90,000 in just the first six months of 2017. Between Walkers campaigns and the Republican Party of Wisconsin, Gilkes has been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for his work on Walkers 2010, 2012 and 2014 gubernatorial elections and as the head of the PAC supporting Walkers failed run for President.
Walker has been on a frenetic, campaign-style tour of the state in recent weeks touting his plan to provide the largest ever state subsidy to a foreign corporation. But Walkers boosterism doesnt change the facts of the proposed deal that will have Wisconsin taxpayers sending state tax dollars to subsidize the bottom line of a multi-billion foreign corporation instead of investing in local public schools, roads and bridges or Main Street businesses.
