Kaufman shares Wisconsin's history of progressive state politics, and how that progressivism was overtaken and eroded by Republican governance, particularly under former Governor Scott Walker, who dismantled organized labor's power in the state. "Walker himself boasted that, 'If we can do it here, we can do it anywhere,'" explains Kaufman. "So, in terms of becoming a national laboratory, [Wisconsin] became an important symbol for the transformation of Republican politics."
