#27 The Fight for Democracy Begins in Wisconsin with Jamie Lynn Crofts

Voting advocate Jamie Lynn Crofts joins me to discuss some promising developments in Wisconsin  — goodbye forever gerrymandered maps! We also explore the outsized role Wisconsin plays in the presidential election and why we’re cautiously optimistic that the purple state will reject Donald Trump again. It’s a good time, so pull up a comfy chair and enjoy!

You will hear:

• How the new maps approved in Wisconsin will be more fair and representative of the voters in this very purple state
• How aside from Trump, the “Trumpy” candidates in other elections are not doing well
• How the 2024 election will set up the future of how we live in this country - taking racism and sexism into account
• And more!
