Wayne Strong is sort of back in!
Wayne Strong, who had filed to challenge incumbent Nicki Vander Meulen for the seat earlier this month, suspended his campaign Jan. 9, according to the Madison City Clerk's office. In a statement emailed out Wednesday morning, Strong explained he would "campaign on a limited basis" following a "recent medical incident." The statement says Strong will make a final decision on staying in the race "on or prior to" Feb. 18, the same date as the primary election.
I read it here
Former Madison mayor Dave Cieslewicz in Isthmus: "I’m still stunned to realize that almost half of my country could vote for a man like Trump. I view his defeat as a moral imperative. And, yet, while I certainly don’t mean to equate it, I just can’t get on board with the policies and worldview of the Democratic left either. … Given the leftward movement of my party, I don’t think I qualify as a liberal anymore. Instead, I identify as a moderate." (Click image to read)

FWIW, The Gotch is available for voice-overs; it goes without saying he has a face for radio…

Definitely doing God’s work today at Badger Rock, Dave.
I was there from for a half-hour or so around 2 pm and couldn’t believe what was spewing out of everybody’s mouth. Even Caire, who said that the achievement gap has been acknowledged for going on 50 years, seemed to still be living 150 years ago in the time of slavery and oppression.
Mirilli is exhausting. I like Muldrow personalitywise if her politics weren’t so bad.
I actually go to church with the Asian woman who asked about her child in the gifted program receiving enough attention instead of the other misbehaving kids (or something like that) – she’s pretty conservative. The answer came down to blaming white kids or something for being in the gifted program. And Caire said only 9% of African Americans go into teaching – why would they after seeing what they went through growing up?
Anyway, Dave all the way, kind-of disappointed in Caire but I can see how he’s straddling the line, and the other seat will receive some kind-of humorous write-in.

@coolkevs;
“why would they after seeing what they went through growing up?”
Needs context. Did Caire mean the kids seeing what teachers go through, ala Mueller-Owens or Karen Vieth?
Or the personal experiences of the kids, which FreeDUMB Inc., BLM, YG & B, et al, have attributed to systemic racism, EVIL White people, and White Supremacy?

Excuse the cynicism but policy is making Madison Chicago while policy is making Chicago into Detroit. I.E. people will only continue to pay more taxes to get worse schools for so long.
