Podcast appearances and mentions of shelia stubbs

The state legislature will look quite different after the November elections, thanks to new legislative district maps recently approved by the Assembly, Senate and Governor. State Representative Jimmy Anderson joins the show today to talk through how those maps came about and what they mean to you, the elections, and the future of the state. Plus, State Rep. Shelia Stubbs sits down with our editor in chief David Dahmer to talk about her proposed legislation to create a Task Force on Missing and Murdered African American Women and Girls. And in the midst of all that, some disturbing stories about driver education in Iowa and our weather predictions for spring.   NOTE: Wisconsin Vote and the state legislature website do not, in fact, make it easy to see your new district. However, Erik Paulson created a helpful website to do just that, with help from John D. Johnson of the Marquette Law School Lubar Center. If you click on a dot, it'll show the current district in orange and the new one in blue.    https://epaulson.github.io/2024-wisconsin-maps/   Here's our story on the Stubbs proposal:   https://madison365.com/wisconsins-delta-sigma-thetas-work-to-create-task-force-on-missing-and-murdered-african-american-women-and-girls/

There is a plan at the Wisconsin Capitol to create a new statewide Office of Violence Prevention. Rep. Shelia Stubbs, D-Madison, wants to set-up the new office in the state's Department of Health Services. Milwaukee and Madison are both seeing increases in crime, including violent crime.

In this week's Capitol Chats episode, Rep. Shelia Stubbs discusses a bill she has reintroduced to establish a task force on missing and murdered African American women and girls. The Madison Dem says she is hopeful the bill will be signed into law considering its bipartisan support.

On the podcast today, updates on two stories we've been following: the fight over the confirmation of Shelia Stubbs as Dane County Director of Human Service and a second day of protests over UW's response to a racist video.

A second County committee has rejected the nomination of Shelia Stubbs to lead the critical Department of Human Services amid heated, even racist, rhetoric. On the podcast today, we talk through the process that's played out over the past two weeks and the messiness that was probably avoidable.

A bill authored by Rep. Shelia Stubbs would remove arduous licensing requirements for hair braiding, which could open up jobs and business opportunities for Black people across the state. Plus, the Urban League of Greater Madison has announced the location of the new Black Business Hub and a few COVID numbers have us a little concerned.

Wisconsin has, for years, been ranked as one of the worst states in the nation for racial disparities — particularly for its Black residents. That fact was thrust into the spotlight after police in Kenosha fired seven shots into Jacob Blake’s back. Once again, an atrocity has prompted people to want to act — but agreeing on how is the hard part. Shortly after Blake was shot, Gov. Tony Evers urged lawmakers to pass a set of policing reform bills. The Republican majority in the Assembly countered with plans to form a task force aimed at addressing racial disparities. Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke, a white Republican, and Rep. Shelia Stubbs, a Black Democrat, are leading the effort together.
