In a speech to supporters Mayor Barrett said he called Governor Walker to congratulate him on his victory.

"To those of you who fought to obtain signatures, who stood out in the cold, who did what you thought was right, never ever, stop doing what you think is right, that is what makes this such a great country."
Mayor Barrett also had a vision for the future of Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin.
