DE PERE (WLUK) -- Five of the eight remaining Democratic candidates visited De Pere Saturday for a forum.
Supporters gathered at the Kress Family Library in De Pere Saturday morning to ask five of the remaining democratic gubernatorial candidates questions about issues they found important, but with eight remaining democratic hopefuls, even the contenders know how difficult it can be.
"It gets cloudy sometimes with having so many candidates, at times saying the same thing," said Mahlon Mitchell, one of the candidates.
The most recent Marquette University Law School poll found that more than 60 percent of respondents don't know or haven't heard enough about any of the candidates. Public schools Superintendent Tony Evers was the best known of all them; 61 percent said they didn't know enough about him.
“People don’t know who any of us are yet,” said Kelda Roys, another Governor hopeful.
All of the candidates at the forum agreed on one thing- get a democrat elected.
Marian Krumberger, chairwoman of the Republican Party of Brown County, said a democratic governor is unlikely.
"With the record jobs, and the great job that Governor Walker is doing, I don't see voters of Wisconsin making the decision to vote democrat,” said Krumberger. “They're too smart for that."
