The race for Dane County Executive is heating up. Wes Sparkman has worked for the County for more than 25 years, and currently serves as Director of the Tamara Grigsby Office of Equity and Inclusion. He joins us today to talk about his first foray into elective politics, the campaign for County Executive, and how he hopes to translate his civil service career into an elected role. Plus, Muriel’s Plate is a weekly dinner to celebrate Black History Month, catered by Black chefs at Muriel’s Place on Madison’s east side. Our Dave Dahmer sat down with Will Green, founder of Mentoring Positives, to get all the details. Finally, we speculate on what Grammys our team could win (and stare at each other in stunned silence at one man’s terrible pun). Today’s episode is brought to you by Steinhafels and the OuttaDeeBox Podcast.
