Doyle to address Democratic convention
Gov. Jim Doyle will speak to delegates at the Democratic National Convention in Denver next week, his office said Tuesday.
Doyle will speak on Tuesday, Aug. 26, on a night when the convention's theme will be "Renewing America's Promise." Doyle plans to talk about ways to improve the country's economy and create jobs.
"While the national economy falters, we have worked very hard here in Wisconsin to keep moving forward and to create jobs," the governor said in a news release. "Our basic promise in this country has to be that we can go as far as our hard work and talent will take us. I am honored to address such an important issue before a national audience and help chart a new course for America."
Doyle, who has been a strong supporter of presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama, will attend the Democratic National Convention from Monday through Friday. He will join 92 delegates and 12 alternates from across the state in Denver.
