Walker Vows to 'Wreak Some Havoc' on Washington While Campaigning in Texas

SAN ANTONIO — Promising to “wreak some havoc” in Washington, D.C., Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker brought his presidential campaign to Texas for the first time Wednesday, bidding for the state’s expanded influence in the 2016 nominating process.

At a barbecue restaurant here and an ice cream parlor in Dallas, Walker repeated that he would lay waste to the status quo in the nation's capital, using language new to his GOP presidential pitch that aligns him with the anti-establishment favorites currently topping national polls.

"We will not be intimidated by anyone, whether it be from big labor union bosses, whether it be from the other party or whether it be occasionally from members of our own party,” Walker told reporters in Dallas. “We’re going to shake things up in Washington when we get there. We’re going to wreak some havoc and put the American people back in charge."

"I think people have seen I've been able to wreak havoc in our state capitol on the big-government special interests," Walker said earlier, alluding to his high-profile fight with public-sector unions that led to an unsuccessful recall effort against him.
