For Episode Six of the “Bird on a Wire” podcast series, Lu Ann Bird is joined by the “Grandma brigade.” That would be JoAnn Stasiewicz and Jean Parulski.
Jean and Joann were the first people that LuAnn called when she decided to run for State Assembly last year, and they have been getting together to talk about politics and taking action for years. In this podcast, they talked about their paths to getting involved in politics, last year’s campaign, getting involved in school board races in Wauwatosa in the Spring Election, flipping Hales Corners for Justice-elect Janet Protasiewicz, and much more.
