Washington County Executive Josh Schoemann has dropped out of the Republican primary for governor in Wisconsin, one day after he failed to receive the endorsement of President Donald Trump. Schoemann’s announcement effectively clears the GOP field for U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Minocqua, the candidate Trump endorsed Tuesday night. ADVERTISEMENT“I want to congratulate Congressman Tiffany and his supporters for receiving President Trump’s endorsement,” Schoemann wrote in a statement on social media . While Schoemann was a relative unknown in statewide politics, he was the first candidate from either party to jump into the race for governor, announcing his candidacy in May. Tiffany thanked Schoemann in his own statement on social media Wednesday.
