We talk to Marathon County Democratic Party chair Nancy Stencil, who proposes a cross-party challenge in Marathon County: Democrats and Republicans are encouraged to donate to local school lunch programs, addressing the grim reality of 'lunch debt.' This initiative aims to foster bipartisanship and directly support students in need.
We also talk about this weekend's Hmong Wausau Festival and the great activities to partake in Saturday and Sunday. Plus, Axios gives a rave review of Trump's first six months. We discuss and think the "sportsification" of politics and public policy needs to end. Guest: Nancy Stencil
