18-year-old Jared Christiansen is still in high school, but he wants to be governor of Wisconsin.

Christiansen joins Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett as the only Democrats who have officially announced their candidacy to replace Gov. Jim Doyle. He announced earlier this year he's not running for a third term.

Christiansen say President Barack Obama inspired him to run.

He'll begin campaigning this summer.

Big name Republicans who've entered the race include Mark Neumann, Scott Walker and Scott Paterick.
