In the Madison area, state legislators regularly hold onto their jobs for a decade or more, so having four seats on the ballot this year is an anomaly. This week on the podcast, Cap Times state government reporter Briana Reilly explains how these openings could further diversify the statehouse and how the Cap Times is working with the public to determine how we report on these races. Help us build our People's Agenda by telling us what you'd like the candidates to talk about, and check our homepage for details on Wednesday night's Senate District 16 debate between Andrew McKinney and Melissa Sargent.
