Today on Spanning the State Kristin Brey and Brian Noonan are back in the studio away from the cold. Today is election day, spring primaries in Wisconsin. Brian and Kristin go over what is on the ballot, how ballots vary from county to county and what are some of the outcomes they are expecting from bigger races like the superintendent race and more. Then Kristin and Brian discuss how political campaign funding plays a part in your elections both nationally and locally. They compare the amount of money that has influenced politics and this past 2024 Presidential Election, as well as if these campaign donations impact voter turnout. As well as how Elon Musk's donations to Brad Schimmel's campaign may potentially help or hurt Schimmel's race. Later Tenia Smith Director of Health and Wellness for Social X MKE joins Kristin and Brian for Giving Tuesday. She talks about how they retain professional talent locally by engaging Millennial & Generation Z in creative and social events and networking gatherings to get more young professionals involved in the city. Smith explains how they continue to attract talent and new money, what types of events they provide, how they cater to each generation and how they reach out to the black community in Milwaukee. As well as other events they have coming up this month! AND Judge Derek Mosley's Black History Fact: America's first EMT service.
