MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich is scheduled to appear at a fundraiser Monday for Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker.

The Milwaukee County executive plans to seek the Republican nomination for governor next year. Former U.S. Rep. Mark Neumann is expected to challenge Walker, along with Appleton businessman Mark Todd.

Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle is expected to seek a third term.

The Gingrich fundraiser in Milwaukee comes at the end of a six-month reporting period for campaign donations that is critical for candidates to show their ability to raise money.

Walker is asking for $250 per couple, or $5,000 to be a part of a roundtable discussion that includes a photo with Gingrich.
