Over the next couple weeks, Matt Rothschild, the host of the “Wisconsin Forward” podcast, is interviewing Democratic candidates for governor. Here’s his first interview, with Rep. Francesca Hong.

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.
