La Crosse Police Chief Shawn Kudron on city closing parks

Joel Brennan, a former top official in Gov. Tony Evers' administration is running to succeed the two-term Democrat. He joins a crowded primary field for the 2026 election.   Brennan was a guest on Thursday's La Crosse Talk.  He used the often-used talking "affordability"   to set his candidacy apart from other Democrats.   Brennan is president of the Greater Milwaukee Committee.  Thursday, he said he would be a governor who both fights President Donald Trump's agenda and works across the aisle with Republicans.  He says that he has a history of rolling up his sleeves and getting things done during his work in government.  Brennan used the word temperament to describe his approach to the Governor's office, saying having the right temperament means the ability to work effectively with legislators and cabinet.  Brennan says the economy and cost of living is what he is hearing from citizens as he campaigns around the state. An August primary will narrow the field ahead of the November general election. Wisconsin is a politically divided state that went for Trump in 2016 and 2024 and President Joe Biden in 2020. All three elections were decided by less than a percentage point.
