Political Debates

In the 1990s, the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association Foundation became a unifying force for the broadcast of important political debates in Wisconsin.

The Foundation created an informal statewide network of radio and television stations to broadcast the gubernatorial election debate between Tommy Thompson and Tom Loftus in 1990, and since then has produced a statewide broadcast debate in nearly every election for Governor and U.S. Senator.

The Wisconsin Museum of Broadcasting is proud to exhibit all of these debates here – unedited and with historical context and election climate provided
