Kristin Brey and Todd Allbaugh break down early moves in Wisconsin’s 2026 governor’s race, including a new TV ad from Republican Tom Tiffany and a major endorsement for Democrat Kelda Roys. They discuss what these signals mean — and why the rest of the field has been relatively quiet.

The conversation also covers a stalled special session on gerrymandering, a key Republican lawmaker stepping aside, and leadership changes at UW-Madison athletics. The show wraps with listener reactions, a return of “What’s Worse?”, and some lighter moments from Nextdoor chaos to storm shoutouts.
