Rhodes-Conway tells 'UpFront' political 'center of gravity' moving toward Madison, Dane County
Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway says the political “center of gravity” is moving toward Madison and Dane County, underscoring its critical importance for Democrats ahead of Election Day.
“Dane County is a very highly Democratic performing area of the state,” Rhodes-Conway said on WISN’s “UpFront,” which is produced in partnership with WisPolitics. “I think we will continue to see that. I think we’re getting even deeper blue than we have before, and as our population grows, that just changes the calculus a little bit about where you need to win.”
Rhodes-Conway spoke at Kamala Harris’ rally Friday in Madison, urging Democrats to mobilize and volunteer during the next six weeks.
“We know everything is going to be really close,” she said. “All of our elections are close in Wisconsin. But the margin, as you heard (state Dem Party Chair) Ben Wikler say, the margin of effort is here in Dane County. So we’ve got people knocking on doors all over town on a regular basis, and the energy that I’m feeling from the volunteers is fantastic. So I’m feeling really optimistic.”
