'We could fix so much': Madison Mayor Paul Soglin has plans for a Tony Evers administration

A day after Tony Evers secured a victory in the governor's race and energized Wisconsin’s Democratic base, Madison Mayor Paul Soglin is already making a to-do list for the new administration.

Soglin, who ran against Evers in the Democratic primary, said he paused a staff meeting three times Wednesday morning to add items to that list.
