Candidate Mahlon Mitchell turns camera on Walker tracker
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mahlon Mitchell is trying to turn the tables on a Republican tracker.
Mitchell confronted GOP tracker Ben Stelter on a Milwaukee street Wednesday. Mitchell posted a video of the encounter on his Facebook page.
Brian Reisinger, an adviser to Republican Gov. Scott Walker, confirmed Stelter works for the Walker campaign. Reisinger also accused Mitchell of being a bully but you can judge for yourself below.
So I have a Republican Tracker that follows me around everywhere. We are out knocking on doors and he found us! So I turned it around and recorded him and asked him questions. Watch what happens next!

The video shows Stelter video-taping Mitchell. Mitchell starts asking him who he works for and how much he’s paid. Stelter responds that he doesn’t make as much as Mitchell makes as a firefighter and president of the state firefighter union.
Stelter then climbs into his car and drives off as Mitchell asks why he follows him around.
