James Edward (Jim) Doyle (born November 23, 1945) is a Wisconsin politician and member of the Democratic Party. He took office in January 2003 as the 44th Governor of Wisconsin.

Campaign for Governor
The 2002 Election After Tommy Thompson resigned as Wisconsin Governor to become Secretary of Health and Human Services in 2001, Lieutenant Governor Scott McCallum became Governor, serving out the remaining two years of Thompson's term. Tommy George Thompson (born November 19, 1941), a United States politician, was the 7th U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services and the 42nd Governor of Wisconsin. ...

Governor McCallum inherited a state with a $3.2 billion budget deficit. In 2003, McCallum signed a budget-repair bill that traded most of a long-term return from the state’s $1.6 billion tobacco settlement for a one-time lump sum that fixed the deficit for a year but didn’t provide the necessary long-term solutions. He then spent all of the money in an attempt to balance the budget in under one year. A budget deficit occurs when an entity (often a government) spends more money than it takes in. ...

While McCallum didn't cause the state's deficit, he was accused of not creating long-term solutions for the state and poor decision making. Doyle seized McCallum's faults and brought them to the surface in his 2002 campaign, accusing him of fiscal mismanagement. Fiscal municipality in Huesca, Spain The term fiscal refers to government debt, expenditures and revenues, or to finance (particularly financial revenue) in general. ...
The 2002 governor's race is considered by some to have been the most negative campaign in the state's history, with frequent mudslinging from both candidates and independent groups. In response, Libertarian Ed Thompson (brother of Tommy), publicly critical of the negative campaigning of both major party candidates, became a more viable option for some voters. Thompson garnered a surprising 10% of the vote. Negative campaigning is trying to win an advantage by referring to negative aspects of an opponent or of a policy rather than emphasizing ones own positive attributes or preferred policies. ...

Thompson was convicted in late 2006, but unexpectedly released immediately on April 4, 2007 by an appellate court, who called the U.S. Attorney's case "beyond thin".

Governor As Governor, Doyle came into office with a $3.2 billion deficit and although in the 2006 campaign he claimed to solve the state's deficit problems Wisconsin ended the year 2006 with a deficit of $2.15 billion. Proposals for new programs have been constrained by continued budget cutting and his honoring a campaign pledge not to raise taxes. He signed a property tax freeze that has resulted in an anticipated decrease in average statewide property taxes in 2006.[2] His stated priorities are; investing in public schools (including the University of Wisconsin system), lowering property taxes, regional economic development, transportation reform and funding of stem cell research.

In February 2007, Doyle proposed to tax oil companies more than $270 million over the next two years to help pay for the state's transportation needs. [1]
Doyle raised about $500,000 in the first half of 2007 leading political analysts to think Doyle is financially ready should he decide to become the state's first third-term Democratic governor. In a speech to the state Democratic Party convention on July 6, 2007, Doyle promised to improve health care, job training and education in Wisconsin then added: "And at the end of these four years of working together, who knows, maybe we'll need four more."
