Last month, Senate Democrats unanimously voted Senator Melissa Agard (D-Madison) to serve as the Senate Democratic Leader. Senator Agard says “Senate Democrats may hold the minority of seats in the statehouse, but we hold the majority of hearts and minds of the people of Wisconsin.” Senator Agard joined us on the program to talk about her new role and to look ahead at the 2023-24 legislative session.

Melissa Agard is a lifelong Madison resident, East High and UW Madison graduate, and proud mom of four sons. Senator Agard was first elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in November 2012 and the Wisconsin State Senate in November 2020. She represents the 16th Senate District, encompassing much of the north, east, and south sides of Dane County.
