This week on Lean Local, Jim Schmitt hosts a conversation that hits especially close to home. District 4, where Jim lives, sits at the heart of downtown Green Bay—an area where local decisions directly impact small businesses, neighborhood vitality, and the city’s future.

With the primary approaching, the show brings together all three candidates running in District 4: Jessica Radunzel, Jon Shelton, and Douglas Cayer. Each candidate joins the program to share their perspective and priorities for the district.

To keep things fair and informative, Jim asks each candidate the same core questions: why they’re running for office, what they hope to accomplish if elected, and how they plan to communicate with constituents. It’s a chance for voters to hear directly from the people seeking to represent them. Side by side, in their own words.
