Childcare is Expensive and Gas Will Be Too

Kristin Brey is joined by WISN political director Matt Smith to break down how Wisconsin’s congressional delegation is reacting to the escalating conflict with Iran, including contrasting responses from Republican and Democratic leaders. They also discuss Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Annette Kingsland Ziegler’s decision not to seek re-election, the debate over state support for UW-Madison NIL funding, and new data on political leanings among university faculty. Later, Annex Wealth Management CEO Dave Spano joins for a Monday Market Preview on rising gas prices, the latest jobs report, and what investors should watch amid global uncertainty. The show wraps with reflections on the successful Bowling for Babies fundraiser and a conversation with the Wisconsin Policy Forum on the rising cost of childcare and potential solutions.
