Capitol Notes: Wisconsin Democrats Dramatically Change Campaign Methods Due To Coronavirus

Marti Mikkelson and JR Ross discuss the week in politics in our "Capitol Notes" conversation.

The Democratic Party of Wisconsin has taken some dramatic steps to curb the spread of the coronavirus.  Chair Ben Wikler says the party is following guidance from health officials to practice social distancing, so it's replacing its traditional door-to-door canvassing operation with a digital model ahead of the April 7 spring election and presidential primary.  

In this week's Capitol Notes conversation, WUWM's Marti Mikkelson asked JR Ross of wispolitics.com what the new plan will look like and how it will affect the election.

Marti was a reporter with WUWM from 1999 to 2021.
