As Gov. Scott Walker gears up for a possible recall election, a Democratic state senator from the western portion of the state said she is considering throwing her hat in the race.

State Sen. Kathleen Vinehout, D-Alma, told WKBT in La Crosse that she is considering a run for governor. Vinehout represents the 31st Senate District and sits on the Joint Legislative Audit Committee.

If Vinehout does run, she would enter a primary race with former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk and state Sen. Tim Cullen, the only two Democrats who have officially declared their candidacy for the recall race.

The Government Accountability Board still needs to verify the hundreds of thousands of signatures on recall petitions to trigger an election.
