Wisconsin's Walker, Ryan, Duffy Slated For RNC

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — At least five Wisconsin politicians are slated to speak at the Republican national convention next week.

Speaker Paul Ryan, Gov. Scott Walker, U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy and Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke are all scheduled to speak at the convention that begins Monday in Cleveland. Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, a Wisconsin native, is also speaking.

The RNC released the list of speakers Thursday.

Walker is one of several former Trump presidential rivals who will speak. Others include Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Ben Carson, Mike Huckabee and Rick Scott.

Republican Sen. Ron Johnson is skipping the convention. He's embattled in a tough re-election fight with Democrat Russ Feingold.
