Doyle holds annual 
golf fundraiser Monday

June 1, 2009

 
MADISON - Gov. Jim Doyle hasn't said whether he's seeking a third term next year, but he's moving ahead with his annual golf fundraiser Monday.

All it takes for someone to join in is $1,250.

The seventh annual event at the University Ridge Golf Course in Verona is traditionally one of Doyle's largest fundraisers.

Doyle is widely expected to seek a third term next year and as the golf tournament shows, he's been busy raising money for a possible run.

He won't be the only one with his hand out Monday. Two state senators, Republican Scott Fitzgerald of Juneau and Democrat Jeff Plale of South Milwaukee, also have fundraisers planned.

But Fitzgerald is only asking for $125 per person, while Plale doesn't list a suggested donation.
