(Madison) — Democratic gubernatorial candidate Matt Flynn today earned the endorsement of former Wisconsin Governor Tony Earl.

Earl served as governor from 1983 to 1987.

“I am very proud to have Governor Earl’s support today,” said Flynn. “Wisconsin has a tradition of clean, honest government going back to Robert La Follette. Tony Earl was a stalwart against corruption during his term. Scott Walker has soiled our record. As governor, I will restore clean, honest government in Wisconsin.”
