Oktoberfest medallion winner leaks her strat; La Crosse County Dem chair Garcia on Madison chaos

La Crosse County and 3rd US House District Democratic Party chair William Garcia — who is also a delegate — in the WIZM studio Friday for La Crosse Talk PM discussing the process of now making Kamala Harris the nominee, could Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz be the VP, as he defends cat ladies from Republican VP candidate JD Vance.

We also discuss what Democrats should be running on, which included how Supreme Court reform could be dangerous but abortion access is realistic.

And, in between all that, we went off on a sci-fi sidebar with talk about the Deadpool & Wolverine movie, plus book-to-screen adaptations on Dune, The Foundation and Lord of the Rings.

Cedric Schnitzler, the Republican candidate for state Assembly in Wisconsin's 95th District, in studio discussing the budget surplus, public education, childcare, broadband and why his experience makes him right for the job. Schnitzler has been the Monroe County Board chair the past eight years and part of the board, on and off, since 1996. Schnitzler discusses how there's a need for the state to help communities with expanding broadband, how there should be a difference in funding capital and operating expenses in public schools, and where the state's $3.5 billion budget surplus fits into the mix. Schnitzler is running against Democratic incumbent Jill Billings in the fall election.

Wisconsin state Assembly Rep. Steve Doyle in studio discussing the Joe Biden departure, how governments are dealing with homelessness, the constitutional amendments on the August ballot and the Legislature's inability to talk across the isle.

We began with Republicans trying to change the state constitution, to pull decision-making power from the governor in times of emergencies. A thing the GOP didn't have a problem with when Scott Walker was governor, but he didn't go through a pandemic. So, floated Doyle the idea of defining those emergencies, which could be done in the Legislature -- and not by wordy, confusing constitutional amendments. That, however led to a conversation (10:00) about how the Legislature doesn't communicate across the aisle, let alone work together. 

After that (19:20), we discussed the homeless issue in La Crosse and across the state, as Doyle is also on the La Crosse County Board.

After that, (25:00) we finished off the show diving into Biden dropping out of the presidential race and some of the talking points surrounding that, like Republicans saying he then isn't fit to be president now or that Democrats are subverting democracy by selecting his replacement, after the primary.

Doyle is a Democrat in the 94th District. Republican Ryan Huebsch is running against him.
