Wisconsin

First up, we’ll visit Wisconsin, where two very important elections are coming up on April 4. Voters will decide on a new Wisconsin supreme court justice, and their choice might ultimately impact the 2024 presidential election—maybe that’s why candidates are smashing campaign spending records in this race. And, in a Milwalkee suburb, a special election will determine whether Republicans will win a two-thirds majority in the state senate, giving them, among other things, the power to impeach local officials. We’ll get into all that and more, with our guest, PBS Wisconsin Senior Political Reporter Zac Schultz.
