On this episode of the Wisconsin Forward podcast, Matt Rothschild talks with Dan Shafer, the political editor of Civic Media and the founder of the Recombobulation Area, about the upcoming race for governor of Wisconsin. Shafer picks the candidate with “the most upside,” and another one who would be the frontrunner if he jumps in.

Wisconsin Forward tells stories from one of the nation's most closely contested swing state. Host Matt Rothschild looks to explain the background on a number of issues across Wisconsin, including the seemingly split personality the state presents in electoral politics, the results of political gerrymandering, and many more. This multipart series will take a deeper look into Wisconsin politics, featuring voices from around the state and the Civic Media network, to provide the context of our complex swing state and provide some insight on how the state can move forward.
