MILWAUKEE (WITI) On Saturday, May 3rd the biggest names in the Republican Party took the stage at the Wisconsin Republican Convention.

With even more potentially divisive votes on the schedule, Republican leaders preached a message of unity.

Before delegates from every corner of the Badger state, Governor Scott Walker sets the tone for his partys election year push.

Wisconsin is better off today than it was four years ago and it will be even better four years from now if Republicans continue to reform our state government, said Walker.

Itd be hard to find anyone in the room Saturday who disagrees with that, but the states Democrats believe most voters will have a different view.

I think most middle-class families wouldnt say theyre doing better right now than they were four years ago when Wisconsins recovery is not keeping pace with the rest of the nation or our neighbors in the Midwest, said Melissa Baldauff, spokeswoman for Democratic Party of Wisconsin.

During Saturdays morning session, the states most prominent Republicans urged delegates to put aside any disagreements and focus on the fall.

We as Republicans, we have to unify. Why do we have to unify? Because we have to win elections. Why do we have to win elections? Because if its not us, we will not save the American idea and the American dream, said Congressman Paul Ryan.

Even Congressman Tom Petri, at the end of his political career, repeats the message.
