The contest to elect a new representative in Wisconsin’s third congressional pits national politics against the local. School budgets are on the ballot this fall asking voters for hundreds of millions in referendum funds.

A superintendent discusses the need to rely on referenda and an OB-GYN on impacts the shortage has had on pregnant patient. It’s “Here & Now” for September 9th.
