Explained simply
Wisconsin is a state in the American Midwest, and its governor leads the state government. Candidates for governor campaign ahead of elections by setting out their views on issues that matter to voters.
Thanksgiving is a national holiday in the United States, observed on the fourth Thursday in November. Families and communities often mark it with meals and gatherings, while its history and meaning are also debated. A candidate’s comments about the holiday may therefore attract attention during a campaign.
