## Resource

Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey are joined by Joe Zepecki and Jake Curtis to discuss President Trump tying a bipartisan housing bill to the SAVE Act, the latest shakeup in Wisconsin’s governor’s race following Missy Hughes’ endorsement of Sara Rodriguez, and whether recent Democratic Socialist victories in New York signal a broader political shift. Later, the panel reflects on America’s upcoming 250th birthday before Erin Kelly of Kelly’s Greens joins to discuss the uncertain future of Wisconsin’s hemp industry and efforts to preserve it through state legislation.
