Who will be Wisconsin's next governor?

About this episode

Milfred and Hands discuss the candidates for Wisconsin's governorship following the announcement that incumbent Gov. Tony Evers will not seek re-election.

Milfred and Hands size up the candidates for Wisconsin's top job, including those who have declared bids and others who are likely to follow. Our political podcasters agree that one Democrat and one Republican are best positioned for success in party primaries, now that incumbent Gov. Tony Evers has announced he won't seek a third term. So much can happen between now and November 2026, and key to christening a GOP nominee will be President Donald Trump's endorsement.
