Gov. Jim Doyle will use his speech at the state Democratic Party convention tonight to underscore his support for embryonic stem cell research and to highlight his differences on the issue with his Republican challenger, U.S. Rep. Mark Green.
Doyle’s campaign said he will tell fellow Democrats tonight, “Stem cell means so much to me and my family. It means hope. And that’s what it means for so many families in Wisconsin, who are struggling with the illness of a loved one.
“I will not let partisan politics slam the door on hope for these families. For as long as I am governor, Wisconsin will lead the nation in stem cell research.”
