First up, it's Maggie and the Millionaires talking money. Today, Maggie talks with Dr. Heidi Shierholz, President of the Economic Policy Institute (EPI). Under Heidi's leadership, EPI has fought for legislative and regulatory reforms that support us all. Dr. Shierholz is a Former Chief Economist for the Department of Labor under President Obama. Today, she and Maggie talk about building an economy from the middle out and the bottom up. Because that's how we really build wealth for us all, not by waiting for wealth to trickle down.

Then, Maggie talks with Peter Barca, candidate for Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District. He's one of Wisconsin's most reasonable men in politics. Today, he shares his vision to keep Wisconsin moving in our favorite direction: forward!

Finally, a quick talk with Amanda Merkwae, Advocacy Director for ACLU Wisconsin about their efforts to protect voter rights in Wisconsin. Amanda directs us here and here to learn more about the voting and electoral process.
