The following is a PBS Wisconsin original production.

Zac Schultz:

A new leader for Wisconsin Republicans talks about where the party goes from here. A scarcity of public defenders and district attorneys is leading to a constitutional crisis and the resurrection of a plan to expand I-94 sees a backlash.

Good evening. I’m Zac Schultz, filling in for Frederica Freyberg. Tonight on “Here & Now,” newly elected Republican Party Chair Brian Schimming joins us. We hear from the candidates vying for the state Supreme Court. Nathan Denzin reports on the record shortage of state attorneys and a Milwaukee group explains their opposition to a highway expansion. It’s “Here & Now” for January 13th.
