Listen "2026 Election Launches"
Episode Synopsis
The 2026 Election is on! Following the recording of the show, Governor Tony Evers announced he will not run for a third term, setting up an epic battle for governance in Wisconsin in 2026.
We preview the huge opportunities for progressives in the State Senate in 2026.
We discuss whether “The Steal of 2028” has begun with the Trump DOJ demanding Wisconsin voting records and records from a number of other battleground states.
We welcome John Miyasato, the president of the Center on Civic Engagement (COCE), to discuss the historic role of community organizing in building a more equitable and just society but its centrality in any strategy to fight authoritarianism and rebuild a more just and equitable America. John tells us about COCE’s New and Intermediate Organizer Training they are hosting in Brookfield, Wisconsin, Monday, August 4th to Friday, August 8th.
