Christian Phelps
Talking the talk, walking the walk, doing the work.(Hour 2)
Matt Rothschild guest hosts for Maggie today as she recovers from the DNC. For four days, we've been reveling in the excitement for the newly formed Democratic Presidential ticket. That enthusiasm is due. AND, now it's time to focus on the down-ballot. In that spirit, two down-ballot candidates join us this hour.
Christian Phelps, Democratic candidate for Wisconsin's 93rd Assembly seat. He chose to enter the political game to bring true representation of the region he knows has not had true legislative choice for too long. With new maps, it's time for change.
Dr. Kristin Lyerly is a board certified OB/GYN. And, she's running for Wisconsin's 8th Congressional District as a Democrat. Dr. Lyerly shares the energy she felt at the DNC. Now, she's ready to take action on her platform of compassionate care for all.

Off and Running (Hour 2)
We have multiple candidates making official announcements this morning that they’re running for seats in the Wisconsin Legislature. Our Women Win Wisconsin segment, now hosted by Motherhood for Good, welcomes Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski. And we’ll review last night’s episode of Top Chef with Luke Mathers.
What’s Next for Schools (Hour 2)
We’ll review key results from Wisconsin’s spring election contests, including nearly 100 school referendums around the state. What happens next in the districts where those requests failed despite the possibility of serious cuts to programs or positions?
Public Schools at the Head of the Class (2nd Hour)
We take note of Wisconsin Public Schools Week in our Homeroom segment—the value our hometown schools bring to our communities and the growing threat as politicians continue to suck our tax dollars out of local public schools to subsidize private schools with no better track record or accountability.
Bringing Home the Bacon (2nd Hour)
Sen. Tammy Baldwin is part of our first half-hour, describing how she helped bring home $1 billion for a massive but much needed infrastructure project up north. Then, in our weekly Homeroom segment, we get a sense of how many school districts are going to referendum this spring because the Legislature still refuses to fully fund a quality public education in our state.
Supporting and Educating All Students (Hour 2)
Tuesday was a very busy day for our friend Luke Mathers, so he joins us today instead for a round of Thursday Tangents! Milwaukee Superintendent Keith Posley also stops by to talk about the challenges of urban school districts. Afterward, Christian Phelps of the Wisconsin Public Education Network talks about managing communications for educational organizations.
An Unbalanced Compromise on Schools (Hour 2)
Key legislative committees on Tuesday took up the deal worked out between Gov. Evers and Republican leaders—an agreement that brings long-overdue state funding to public schools and local governments, but also grows the size of the private school vouchers that are designed to weaken public education.
