Pridemore launches run for Wisconsin state superintendent

Scott Bauer:

Republican state Rep. Don Pridemore launched his campaign to become Wisconsin's top education leader on Monday, saying he would bring a conservative approach to the job while refusing to talk specifically about what policies he would push.

Pridemore is taking on incumbent Tony Evers, who has held the nonpartisan job of secretary of the Department of Public Instruction since 2009. The election is April 2, and there will be a Feb. 19 primary if three or more people run.

Evers said he looked forward to contrasting his record with Pridemore's.
"All I know is I've been out front on education for 36 years," said Evers, a former teacher, principal, district superintendent and deputy state superintendent. "I'm believing that he has not."
