When this election season started, the City Cast Madison team set a goal of interviewing each of the candidates in both parties running for governor in the Aug. 11 primaries. And while we’re still trying to get all of them (looking at you, Barnes and Tiffany campaigns) we’ve done pretty well so far!

Listen to host Bianca Martin’s interviews with five of the seven remaining candidates about why they’re running, where they stand on the issues, and what they love most about Wisconsin.

And with the election coming up, take a look at our voters’ guide so you have all the information you need before you exercise your right to vote. Don't forget, you can also find your ballot, polling, and more election information at the MyVote Wisconsin website.
