MADISON, Wis. (AP) Gov. Scott Walker’s top adviser says he welcomes the growing Republican presidential field and feels good about the money Walker has raised so far, even though it trails others. Walker adviser Rick Wiley spoke Tuesday at a noontime luncheon organized by the political website Wispolitics.com. His speech came on the same day that groups supporting Walker reported raising $32 million so far this year. Wiley says that fundraising hit Walker’s goals and “I just like where we are.” Wiley says he’s not concerned about Ohio Gov. John Kasich entering the race Tuesday, becoming the 16th Republican in the field. Wiley says he thinks Walker needs to finish in the top three in the first four presidential voting states to advance to the next round.
