William Garcia, the Democratic Party chair for both La Crosse County and the 3rd US House District, in studio to discuss accusations that the Democratic Party is recruiting candidates to run for La Crosse County Board. Before that, however, I rant a bit about partisanship in nonpartisan races and WIZM's Brad Williams joins to talk about the Biden campaign's reelection co-chair, Mitch Landrieu, stopping in La Crosse. 

Began the show talking about the end of the spring election cycle coming Tuesday and how both La Crosse County political parties have gotten involved and if there's a way to keep politics out of the nonpartisan races. 

After that (5:40), Williams joins to discuss Landrieu's visit to the bus barn and the oddity that this is the third visit by prominent Democrats, including President Joe Biden in 2021, to the bus barn. The other visit was from transportation secretary Craig Thompson back in May.

And, lastly (20:20), Garcia joins, responding to accusations made the day before on WIZM's La Crosse Talk, from La Crosse County Board member Dennis Jacobsen, that the Democratic Party recruited and helped a candidate run against him and others. Garcia recently discussed, on the Democratic Voice podcast, his view of the differences in spring election involvement between the La Crosse County Republican Party and the Democratic Party.
