Pawlenty headed to Wisconsin

Gov. Pawlenty is scheduled to speak at the Chairman's Reception at the Republican Party of Wisconsin State Convention on Friday, May 21, 2010.

"The Republican Party of Wisconsin State Convention is going to be an opportunity for conservatives to come together and kick off an outstanding campaign season," Wisconsin Republican Party Chair Reince Priebus said in a news release. "I can't think of two better Republicans than Governor Pawlenty and Congressman Ryan to get participants motivated to actively spread our message of common-sense conservative solutions and fiscal restraint."

The trip will come after the legislative session is over. The constitutional deadline for the Legislature to adjourn is May 17th.

Pawlenty also appeared on NBC this morning. He talked about his recent criticism of Massachusetts health care plan, the RNC spending issue and his Facebook townhall that will feature "endorsements."
