The spring election results are in, and Madison has a lot to say! First up on today’s show, WORT news director Molly Stentz catches up with Satya Rhodes-Conway, who defeated incumbent Paul Soglin in yesterday’s mayoral race.
For the remainder of the hour, Molly is joined in the studio by Dylan Brogan, staff writer at Isthmus, and Negassi Tesfamichael, education reporter at The Cap Times, to discuss the mayoral and school board victories and what’s next for Madison.
In the final segment, we hear from callers about the Wisconsin Supreme Court race (currently undergoing a recount), the role of identity politics in elections, and their hopes for the city’s future.
