The show returns and we are joined in the first hour by Milwaukee County Executive and Democratic nominee for Governor David Crowley. We talk about why he is running, how he is attempting to connect with northern Wisconsin and rural voters, issues such as education, child care and heath care plus the kind of leader he wants to be for Wisconsin.
