But while the Wisconsin governor, 47, is revving up his connections to the Milwaukee-based company on the campaign trail, Harley-Davidson appears to be steering clear of presidential politics.
“He is passionate about our brand like the millions of other loyal Harley-Davidson customers around the world,” Harley-Davidson spokeswoman Maripat Blankenheim told ABC News in an e-mail message this week.
But here’s the fine print: Asked for a reaction to Walker’s heavy reliance on their brand in his campaign, Blankenheim noted that “there is no official relationship” between the company and Walker.
“It’s important to note our dealerships are independently owned and operated businesses,” Blankenheim wrote. “Harley-Davidson Motor Company does not endorse any candidate and remains neutral in political campaigns.”
