Question Of The Day: Who Pays For Candidates' Security?

By Katie DeLong

Former President Bill Clinton was stumping for Hillary in the Badger state Thursday. He made appearances in Milwaukee, Waukesha and Madison. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama will be in Milwaukee on Saturday. On the Republican side, Mike Huckabee is spending a second straight day in Wisconsin. He was in Pewaukee Wednesday night, and on Thursday, he made stops in Madison, La Crosse, Wausau and Green Bay. Friday morning, Huckabee will be in Milwaukee. That brings us to our Question of the Day. Ron Hamilton wants to know: when the presidential candidates come to town, who foots the bill for police and crowd control? Taxpayers or the campaigns? TODAY’S TMJ4’s Mike Jacobs has the answer. Right now, all eyes are on Wisconsin when it comes to the political primaries, and right now, two candidates have secret service security through the U.S. government. Hillary Clinton has had that protection since she was First Lady. Most other candidates travel with security they pay for. At all the events, municipality law enforcement also show up to help. They are paid through taxpayer dollars.
