The Wheelhouse Gears Up for 2014

Now that the 2013 general election is behind us, all eyes are on the 2014 races. Connecticut is gearing up for a heated race in the Republican primary and general election. Governor Dannel Malloy has not yet formally announced his candidacy for re-election but that hasn't stopped his Republican opponents from attacking his record.

On The Wheelhouse, we talk about the 2014 race both here in Connecticut and in Illinois, where Bridgeport, Connecticut Superintendent Paul Vallas is Governor Pat Quinn's running mate. We also check-in with Connecticut's Filipino community. Their home country was utterly devastated by last week's typhoon.

GUESTS:

  • Colin McEnroe - WNPR host
  • Khalilah Brown-Dean - Associate Professor of Political Science at Quinnipiac University
  • Kevin Rennie - Columnist, Hartford Courant
  • Christopher Marnell - Yale senior and past Co-President of Kasama
  • Linda Lenz - Publisher & Founder, Catalyst Chicago
