"From the day I got into this race I've been out there meeting with people, shaking hands" Hovde said.
Some tailgaters like Richard Marke say that politicians should use events like tailgating as a way to meet with voters.
"I think they should use it like they shouldn't believe you know... I think the politicians should meet the people. They gotta walk the factory floors... Talk to the people meet them shake their hands because we- technically they work for us. Not the other way around" Marke said.
With election day on Tuesday, Hovde and Senator Baldwin will be campaigning across Wisconsin all day on Monday.
