Republicans talk with Brett Favre about a Wisconsin run for governor, what businesses are missing from La Crosse and UW-La Crosse political science professor, Dr. Anthony Chergosky, defends his stance that peeps are the best Easter candy on a Friday La Crosse Talk.


La Crosse Talk airs weekdays at 6-8 a.m. Listen on the WIZM app, online here, or on 92.3 FM / 1410 AM / 106.7 FM (north of Onalaska). Find all the podcasts here or subscribe to La Crosse Talk wherever you get your podcasts.


We also discuss candidates already getting into races that aren’t happening for at least a year, the amount of money already being raised by Derrick Van Orden and Rebecca Cooke in the 3rd US House District and Wisconsin looking for a new Democratic Party chair. 

We posed the question early but talked about it late: What businesses is La Crosse missing — Costco, Red Robin, IKEA? It stems from a very strange story out of Orlando and Wausau, where someone is flying banners at the Red Lobster headquarters asking to bring the restaurant to the central Wisconsin city.

We also broke down the “Brett Favre for WI governor story,” as the Packers Hall of Fame quarterback and Donald Trump supporter talked with some GOP operatives.

And, of course, we had debate Easter candy, as Chergosky may love Peeps more than any other holiday candy out there.
