Zac Schultz:

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. And the national shortage of OB-GYNs hits close to home endangering healthcare’s capacity to deliver.

Good evening. I’m Zac Schultz filling in for Frederica Freyberg. Tonight on “Here & Now,” a look at the race in Wisconsin’s highly competitive third congressional district. 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.
