FILE - In this Jan. 13, 2015 file photo, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker acknowledges people in the gallery during Governor's State of the State address to a joint session of the Legislature in the Assembly chambers at the state Capitol in Madison, Wis. Walker has transformed Wisconsin politics, winning three elections in four years and signing laws that weaken unions, crippling a key component of the Democratic Party. But the likely Republican presidential contender has had less success changing Wisconsin&#8217;s economy and budget. The state lags in job growth and its budget faces a shortfall. It&#8217;s a record that complicates Walker&#8217;s path in early primary states as he sells himself as a reformer. (AP Photo/Andy Manis, File)
