S8 E9 - Troy Woodard and Dennis McBride - Public Office

In today's episode, we welcome newcomer, Troy Woodard to the show to join us with Wauwatosa Mayor, Dennis McBride. Troy ran for Wauwatosa school board and although his campaign didn't produce the results he was looking for this time, we thought it would be interesting to talk with Troy and the Mayor about various topics related to public office. Both Troy and Mayor McBride share their personal experiences as we discuss motivations for running for office, along with the challenges involved with holding a public office, including public criticisms and potential threats faced by elected officials. We also chat about some of the upcoming changes to the Wauwatosa school district and what the term "public service" means to each of us. All that and, of course, much, much more! Enjoy!
