I’m Dan Shafer. Let’s recombobulate.



We are in a rare moment right now in Wisconsin politics. Why, you ask? Well, it’s because we are not actively in the middle of a campaign cycle. It’s been more than six weeks now since any of us have seen a campaign ad. It’s been pretty nice, hasn’t it?



This moment we’re in is as close as we’re going to get to a political offseason here in Wisconsin. And we need to take advantage of this moment by taking action to improve our democracy. That means taking steps to address money in politics, cleaning up some issues with election administration, and creating a long-term plan for nonpartisan redistricting.



In some cases, we can’t make these kinds of changes in the middle of the campaign. So we need to be thinking about what we can do now. There’s a lot both parties can agree on here, too. So let’s make some moves this offseason, Wisconsin. Seize this moment to make a better, stronger, more inclusive democracy.
