    PT. 1 SCHOOL BOARD: How La Crosse Republicans differ from Democrats in local elections

    PT. 1 SCHOOL BOARD: How La Crosse Republicans differ from Democrats in local elections

    We look at how La Crosse Republicans differ from the La Crosse County Democratic Party in these local, spring elections for school and county board. In Part 1, we talk school board, where two candidates are on the ballot and both are endorsed by the far-right wing group, the 1776 Project. Just a note, since this recording, candidate Tim Alberts has come out and said he was included on the 1776 mailer "without my knowledge or endorsement." Nothing on social media on Adam Manka, in which the 1776 Project highlights a made up statistic from Manka on drugs in La Crosse schools.
