Senate District 8 Special Election

Published | Video Starts at 12:17

So in say 30 seconds, what's at stake in this election on April 4th in terms of what it means for the Senate and the Senate vote in Madison? Why is the 8th district seat so crucial? This seat is absolutely crucial because without it, if it does not flip to a Democratic seat, there will be a super majority in the Senate which would cost Governor Evers the ability to veto particularly harmful extreme bills. And that puts Wisconsin in a treacherous position with regard to extremist interests. Folks, this is attorney Mark Thompson. This is the Paul Revere Show. (12:17–12:37)
