MADISON (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie plans to attend a pair of fundraisers with Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker on Tuesday in Milwaukee and Howard.

Walker's campaign announced the visit in a fundraising email sent to supporters on Thursday. Walker's spokeswoman says more details will be announced next week.

The email calls Walker and Christie "two bold and courageous men" who have "taken on the status quo and have done more to put America back on track than anyone in a generation."

The primary in the recall election is May 8. Four Democrats, and one Republican running as a Democrat, are seeking the chance to take on Walker on June 5. Walker faces a primary challenge from Arthur Kohl-Riggs, a Walker opponent running as a Republican.

The event in the Green Bay area is at the Rock Garden, beginning at 11 a.m. Tickets range from $200 to $1,000 for a photo opportunity.
