GOP governor candidates Kleefisch, Michels and Ramthun pledge they won't legalize marijuana

MADISON - All three Republican candidates for governor are pledging to veto any bill that legalizes marijuana for any use. But five of the eight Republicans running to be their running mates are for legalizing pot for medicinal use.

Marijuana has emerged as a flashpoint in the state Capitol, with more Republican lawmakers and candidates becoming supportive of proposals to legalize what Democrats have long called for as state polling shows public support for the idea.

But the state Senate has long been a stubborn hurdle to such efforts.

Former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, pipeline construction executive Tim Michels and state Rep. Tim Ramthun have all said they oppose legalizing marijuana.
