Ross serves as the progressive pundit paired with Republican Bill McCoshen on NBC’s award-winning “Unspun” segment. Eicher will be featured as part of WPR’s coverage in the 9PM hour after the polls have closed.

“From the battles for Governor, U.S. Senate, Attorney General and control of the state legislature, at One Wisconsin Now we’ve been researching the candidates’ positions and talking about the issues at stake,” said Eicher.

Adding that One Wisconsin Now’s research and communications operation is full time on the ground in the state and not just popping up around election time, Ross said, “We know the players, we know the political and issue landscape and we know what wins and loses, for races in Wisconsin.”

Eicher is an award-winning Millennial who heads up One Wisconsin Now’s student loan debt crisis and voting rights programs.
