Good evening. I’m Zac Schultz, filling in for Frederica Freyberg. Tonight on “Here & Now,” a final look at the candidates running for governor ahead of Tuesday’s partisan primary election. And we’ll examine the limits of First Amendment rights as Madison police shut down the protest encampment and the Lac du Flambeau band asserting sovereignty around their reservation leads to federal lawsuits. It’s “Here & Now” for August 7.
