Fox News
Tim Michels, the Republican who is running for governor in Wisconsin, is looking to change the state's parole system. Michels has made the parole process a cornerstone of his campaign.
On Monday, Michels highlighted what he said are problems with the current parole process by discussing the case of Floyd Marlow, a convicted murderer who was arrested last week after being paroled in January. He had served 22 years of a 40-year sentence for killing a Milwaukee man in 1999 before he was paroled .
"We need to have a shift in the cultural thinking of the parole commission," Michels said during a news conference Monday at the West Bend Sheriff’s Department. Michels added he would not stop the process of parole, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.
