In November of 2026, Wisconsin voters will elect a new governor.  In July, two-term incumbent, Democrat Tony Evers, announced he would not seek re-election.  Even though the partisan primary doesn’t take place until August 11, the race to succeed Evers has already started.  No less than twelve candidates have already declared, including five Democrats, three Republicans and five independents.  Today, the Monday Buzz kicks off our gubernatorial election coverage by speaking with Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez, who announced her candidacy for Governor on July 25.  Before winning election as Lieutenant Governor in 2022, Rodriguez has worked as a public health nurse, and has worked for the federal Center for Disease Control.  Sara Rodriguez joined Monday 8 O’Clock Buzz host Brian Standing on November 17, 2025.
