A new campaign of political ads warns voters in the 7th Congressional District up north about the dangers of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Zohran Mamdani. One problem: Neither is running for office in Wisconsin. One’s a New York City member of Congress and the other is the incoming mayor of New York City. But you’d never know that from a group running ads in order to put lots of shady out-of-state cash behind Sean Duffy’s son-in-law, who wants to start a Trump-style family dynasty in our state. We’ll talk to Joe Zepecki about that and more of this week’s political headlines.
