We welcome back former Battleground WI panelist Jorna Taylor to dig into breaking political news. We discuss the huge opportunity for progressives to elect a state senator in the District 1 special election on June 12th now that the unpopular Rep. Andre Jacque has come through the GOP primary despite establishment opposition. We also discuss Peter Barca’s decision not to run in Congressional District 1, news that Republican Ed Brooks will resign in Assembly District 50, and get Jorna’s thoughts on the governor’s race. Finally we bat around Governor Walker’s order to state agencies for 0% growth in their 2019-2020 budgets; the latest Foxconn scandal, $100 political baby bribes, net neutrality, and more.
