Murphy ran as a Democrat in the Wisconsin US Senate race, that is now Ron Johnson’s seat for the next six years.

We discuss how that happened, as the same batch of voters also elected a Democratic governor.

Murphy also talks about how Wisconsin got what’s being projected as a $6 billion budget surplus and what to do with that now.

Murphy owns a small business called Big Bang LLC. He also has degrees in economics — working on his Masters there — and political science from UW-Milwaukee.
