Patti Vasquez is joined by Dan Bukiewicz, candidate for WI Assembly District 21. He outlined his priorities for municipal funding, data center oversight, schools, infrastructure, and public services.

Here are a few key points from the conversation:
- Bukiewicz, the current mayor of Oak Creek, Wisconsin, contrasted his 20 years of municipal experience with the broader, partisan responsibilities of serving in Madison.
- He argued that local governments are increasingly strained by inadequate shared revenue and must still provide balanced budgets and essential services.
- He supports responsible data center development with transparency, environmental safeguards, and payment for power and utility-grade infrastructure.
- He proposed community benefits, impact fees, and limiting tax breaks to brownfield redevelopment. 
- He emphasized school funding, roads, traffic safety, streetlights, protective services, and support for programs including SNAP, WIC, Social Security, BadgerCare, and Medicare.
