TL;DR
Republican Scott Mayer backtracked on his previous claims of hiring campaign staff for a potential U.S. Senate run in Wisconsin, clarifying that he has not formally hired anyone as he has not yet announced his candidacy. Despite stating the day before that he had most of his top campaign positions filled, Mayer now maintains that he has people lined up and ready to join a campaign if he decides to run. This comes as the Republican field to challenge Democrat U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin in November is still taking shape, with banker Eric Hovde expected to announce his run soon.
