Michelle Obama Rallies Young Voters In Wisconsin
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- First lady Michelle Obama is rallying young voters in Wisconsin's governor's race, saying if they show up to vote Republican Gov. Scott Walker can be defeated.
Obama appeared at a rally Tuesday near the University of Wisconsin campus before heading south to rally for Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn at the University of Illinois.
College students stood behind Obama on the stage as she urged young people to vote in the election for Mary Burke, saying she will fight to make college more affordable and raise the minimum wage.
Obama says she came to Madison a little over a week after she appeared at a similar event in Milwaukee because she wanted to target young voters.
She said, "If women and minorities and young people show up, Mary wins."
