After months of political commercials, debates and campaigning, the election is finally behind us. Some results were predictable and some less so. Now, we are faced with the task of sorting out what happened and more importantly what it means to the dairy community. We’ll discuss the results in Wisconsin and at the federal level. Then, we will discuss what the changes caused by this election mean to our key issues and how they will impact DBA and Edge’s lobbying efforts in 2019.
