Democrat Mary Burke is statistically tied in the latest polling with Wisconsin’s Republican Gov. Scott Walker, who is often discussed as a possible contender for his party’s nomination for president in 2016.

Burke, a Democrat whose family owns a successful bicycle business, is hoping to play spoiler in one of the most closely watched head-to-head races in the country this November. Recent polling from Marquette University Law School shows her with a one-point edge among likely voters, and within one point of Walker among registered voters.

The Wisconsin governor’s race is part of ABC’s “14 for 14″ project, which is tracking key contests across the country between now and November.

ABC News conducted a rapid-fire question/answer session with Burke, delving into the candidate’s thoughts on a range of topics, from her ties to Hartland, Wis. to forgiveness for future Packers Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre................
