US House candidate, Wisconsin state Assembly Rep. Katrina Shankland stopped in studio to discuss what her priorities would be in Congress, debating Derrick Van Orden and how marijuana could be handled federally. 

Shankland is one of three Democrats running, along with Rebecca Cooke and Eric Wilson. La Crosse native Tara Johnson dropped out of the race last week. Shankland also represents the 71st Assembly District in the Stevens Point area. 

And that's where we started (6:00), with Shankland talking a bit about Johnson, as the former La Crosse County Board char's absence creates a void in the county for voters to turn to. We also hit on whether Republican House Rep. Van Orden will participate in a debate this year. He refused to debate last election. 

Other things discussed included Shankland criticizing the lack of productivity out of the US House the past year and what her priorities would be, including passing a Farm Bill and fighting price gouging. We concluded talking about marijuana, as Republicans in Wisconsin proposed what would be the most restrictive medical marijuana bill in U.S.
