Milwaukee attorney Matt Flynn’s campaign manager said Monday the candidate is the subject of a “smear campaign” as he faces calls from Wisconsin women’s groups to drop out of the Democratic gubernatorial primary.
Flynn, a former chairman of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, represented the Archdiocese of Milwaukee against victims of sexual abuse by priests during his work with the law firm Quarles & Brady.
His campaign held a call with reporters on Monday to announce a series of videos featuring three supporters of Flynn’s campaign, including Karen Gotzler, the former director of the Milwaukee LGBT Community Center. Gotzler said as a person who was raised Catholic, she is pleased Flynn worked to “rid our church of these abusers.”
The call comes a week after the Wisconsin Women’s March and the Madison and Wisconsin chapters of the National Organization for Women called on Flynn to end his campaign.
