Summary

Jess sat down with her dad, John Bluemke (on his 75th birthday!), and Ty Laurie, a Wisconsin resident who is putting his money where his mouth is by raising more than $100,000 for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin and is still working. They discussed how both men went from Republican to Democrat, how Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez is a rising political star, and how boots on the ground around Wisconsin could swing the entire 2024 election.
