In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys unpack Appeals Court Judge Maria Lazar’s entry into the 2026 Supreme Court race as the first conservative challenger to liberal Judge Chris Taylor. Lazar’s pitch as a nonpartisan “independent, impartial judge” who won’t lean into conservative talking points draws head-scratching confusion from the hosts. They pivot to the governor’s race, where new polling shows a wide-open Democratic primary with no clear frontrunner, while Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany is ahead of the GOP field at 30%. Former Gov. Tommy Thompson’s ongoing tease of a fifth-term run at age "super old" is wearing thin. What could he be possibly thinking? The episode digs into the latest medical marijuana bill from GOP lawmakers as they propose regulating the controlled substance. Emerging data center boom gets scrutiny too and facing fierce pushback over energy demands and environmental strain on the Great Lakes. Additionally, there is apparently a "Waukesha Werewolf" on the loose.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
