With Governor Evers officially announcing he won’t seek reelection, a political power vacuum emerges in Wisconsin. Maggie unpacks the high-stakes moment with expert guests, zeroing in on the urgent need for democracy reform. The conversation explores how partisan gerrymandering continues to distort fair representation, and why independent redistricting is essential. Attention then turns to the corrosive impact of dark money since Citizens United, with state-level solutions—like Arizona’s transparency laws—offering hope. But there’s a new threat on the horizon: cryptocurrency’s role in evading campaign finance laws. This hour wraps with a powerful call to ban congressional stock trading and root out systemic corruption at every level of government.
