Podcast by Wisconsin Conservatives
Matt Batzel is Executive Director at American Majority, a group focused on training conservatives to get elected to local office and in state legislatures. Whether it’s for County Executive or District Attorney, Matt and his team, with a presence in cities across the country, work hard to build a grassroots bench. Today we talk about keeping that bench filled and how conservatives can tell great stories to sell the principles behind their reforms.
Rick Esenberg is president and general counsel at Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty. Today we discuss some of their projects, the war of ideas, and how Wisconsin kids always end up coming back home.
Heather Townsend has been active in local politics in southeastern Wisconsin for only a few years, but in a short time she has made a lasting impact. Local legislators count on her to organize volunteers to drop lit and knock on doors. She’s a regular at county part events and Pints & Politics. And she reliably does the work to help ensure conservative and Republican victories. It was Scott Walker’s recall that motivated her to get involved, and today we talk about how she reached her tipping point, what keeps her motivated to be a grassroots leader, and even some of the obstacles she’s faced within the party.
Adam Neylon is one of the younger faces in the state legislature, winning a crowded primary for the 98th assembly district in 2013 when he was only 27 years old. Today we talk about how he got there, how Republicans can win in November, and we take a look at what it is that makes folks from Wisconsin so gosh darn nice.
Jacob Curtis is an associate counsel at Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, and he’s been active in Wisconsin politics for over a decade. As a volunteer, Capitol staffer, and attorney, his involvement brings a unique perspective to the trajectory of conservatism in this state.
Writer and blogger James Wigderson joins the inaugural podcast of the brand new WisconsinConservatives.com. We cover his journey through conservative politics, a time when conservative dissent was okay in college, and how Senator Johnson can improve his message against his challenger.
