Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski on Abortion, Fixing What They Broke & Why Lieutenant Governor?

Wisconsin Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski sits down with OB-GYN and reproductive rights advocate Dr. Kristin Lyerly to talk about the legacy of the Dobbs decision, her Constitutional offices on the "garden level" of the Capitol, and why she's running for Lieutenant Governor instead of the top seat.

From rebuilding hollowed-out state offices to helping Wisconsinites start businesses and stay in their homes in the midst of an affordability crisis, Sarah Godlewski has spent her career fixing what they broke. Now she's asking Wisconsin voters to give her the chance to do it from a different perch.

Plus — don't miss the surprise appearance by her 6-year-old son Hartley, who crashed our interview and gave us a genuine boy mom moment you won't want to miss.

In this episode:
The legacy of Dobbs — four years later, what it's really meant for Wisconsin women
The "garden level" offices: how Republicans hollowed out two constitutional offices and what Sarah did about it
Why she chose Lieutenant Governor over Governor — and what she plans to do with it
Affordability, Medicaid, and the Republican betrayal of Wisconsin families
What a Democratic trifecta actually means for Wisconsin
