Wisconsin Democrats want voters to know what former President Donald Trump has planned for a second term, if he’s elected to the White House again.

On Saturday, Madison Congressman Mark Pocan joined La Crosse area candidates at a town hall where they spoke with local voters about the Project 2025, which they say reflects Trump’s policies. Democrats are conducting similar town halls in other parts of the state, with one in Wausau scheduled for Sunday.

Congressman Mark Pocan shows off the size of the Project 2025 playbook at an event in La Crosse on Saturday.

Pocan says Republicans want to be sure every state follows the ideas within Project 2025. He criticizes ideas for changing health care, and benefits for Medicare and Social Security, as well as providing tax breaks for the wealthy.

The Congressman was joined at the Machinists Union hall on Rose Street by State Senator Brad Pfaff, Rep. Jill Billings, and Assembly candidate Tara Johnson. Saturday, October 5th, marks one month until the November election, which features races for the White House, Congress, and state offices.

A native of Prairie du Chien, Brad graduated from UW - La Crosse and has worked in radio news for more than 30 years, mostly in the La Crosse area. He regularly covers local courts and city and county government. Brad produces the features "Yesterday in La Crosse" and "What's Buried on Brad's Desk."

    What a trio of losers.

    Trump has disavowed the Project 2025 document a billion times.

    Shameful and sleazy that WIZM would publish this.

        You’re a very dysfunctional deranged delusional person if you believe that…

    Brad, You’ll show up wherever the La Crosse Democrat wants you to.

    A journalist would have added to his this that Trump has repeatedly, as in repeatedly, disassociated himself with Project 2025. He has said he does not endorse it and never has.

    Mark Pocan is the Democrats’ “Drag Some Garbage Around The State” guy. You fell for it.

      Bob, Williams didn’t fall for anything, he knows exactly what he is doing.

      Anyway, while the three losers were handing Williams his orders, with no-one else in the building to watch (janitor doesn’t work on weekends), Trump was speaking to a crowd estimated at 50,000 strong in Butler, PA, including many thousands of union members.

      Love the photos of career politician Pfaff though…in one he is wearing that “this is embarrassing” look on his face and in the other he is getting the book thrown at him. A real masterpiece this article.

        Never heard so many lies since obama and his obama care lies, and of course WIZM carried the democrat narrative values of hate lies misinformation and of course their known greatest value of hypocrisy .

    The CLOWN SHOW tours the area.
    Trump has repeatedly disavowed it.
    What about the big flip flopper HARRIS.
    Never a disparaging word from WIZM.
