Tammy Baldwin:
Wisconsin’s state motto is forward.

Frederica Freyberg:
Less than a month away from the election, Democratic incumbent Tammy Baldwin acknowledges it’s a tight race for U.S. Senate against her Republican challenger, Eric Hovde. But both candidates can still make appeals to voters in their first and only televised debate.
I’m Frederica Freyberg. Tonight on “Here & Now,” ahead of next week’s debate between the Wisconsin candidates for U.S. Senate, we get a preview of their backgrounds and platforms and a look at the blurred lines between political rhetoric and political violence. Then we report on one group frequently left out of the conversation about Medicaid expansion. And finally, the top issues for Wisconsin’s largest voting block: people over 50. It’s “Here & Now” for October 11.
