Spring Election, Sarah Godlewski, free home weatherizations, and flowers
We debrief this week\u2019s Spring General Election. We look at the implications of the high \u2018Uninstructed Vote\u201d in the Democratic Presidential primary. Will it put additional pressure on President Biden to change course on the unfolding humanitarian travesty in Gaza? We also dig into the central role that strong voter support for public education played in local elections throughout the state, local election success stories and disappointments. With the Spring Elections now behind us, we turn to the critical task of recruiting progressive candidates for state legislative elections.\n\nWe remind our listeners that our 40th Anniversary event in Wausau is next Thursday, April 11th, 5:30pm and encourage listeners to join Robert and Matt in celebrating 40 years of powerful organizing.\n\nWe welcome Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski to discuss the continued attacks on her office and the structures that support our democracy. Secretary of State Godlewski also talks about the importance of public education and why she barnstormed the state supporting many of the 90 public school referendums on the ballot this Spring.\n\nCitizen Action Climate Coordinator Kat Klawes joins us to discuss an opportunity for our listeners to take action in support of a FREE weatherization program being considered by the Wisconsin Public Service Commission to implement important climate components of President Biden\u2019s Inflation Reduction Act passed by Democrats in Congress in 2022.\n\nSign petition in support of FREE weatherization of Wisconsin homes.\nhttps://www.greenhomeownersunited.com/ira2024en
