Tara Johnson
A Cabinet or More Like a Junk Drawer? (Hour 2)
The US Senate this week is busy with some contentious nominees for President-elect Trump’s Cabinet, with raised voices and numerous controversies. Sean Duffy, by comparison, had smooth sailing as the likely Transportation Secretary—but the question remains: Why? We’ll talk to a writer who’s covered Duffy for years and sees nothing in his background or skill set that matches the challenges of this new position. Plus another round of visits with new Wisconsin legislators: Sen. Jodi Habush Sinykin and Rep. Tara Johnson.

Tara Johnson Joins the Race (Hour 2)
T
We’ll visit with Tara Johnson, the latest Democrat to throw her hat in the ring for the 3rd Congressional District seat in western and central Wisconsin. Also: Legislative Republicans move closer to passing warmed-over versions of their previously rejected plans for childcare and taxes.
The Impeachment Hail Mary (Hour 1)
For a party that has tried nullifying past election results, even this move would be drastic—trying to impeach a newly-elected state Supreme Court justice. We’ll talk to Joe Zepecki about whether Republicans are bluffing in their threat to try to undo the will of the voters who overwhelmingly elected Janet Protasiewicz less than six months ago. Also, Tara Johnson enters the race for Congress in the 3rd District.
Smoke on the water
Senate Minority Leader Melissa Agard (D-Madison) joins the Devils to talk Protasiewicz, and Congressional Candidate Tara Johnson comes on to talk about taking on Derrick Van Orden for Congress.
