Between 2021 and June 2023, Matt Rothschild, the executive director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign (2015 - June 2023), recorded weekly radio commentaries for WMUU 102.9 in Madison, WI. He called each commentary his “Democracy Minute” though it may run closer to two minutes. They were timely, pithy commentaries about democracy issues in Wisconsin and nationwide.
