Dave Cieslewicz's coverage heavily leans towards legal policy regulation, opinion editorials, and government announcements within the context of Wisconsin politics. He seems to be particularly interested in issues related to the University of Wisconsin, free speech, NCAA, and current events.
Pitches for Mr. Cieslewicz should offer expert commentary on local political affairs or provide insights into relevant legal/policy matters within Wisconsin. Additionally, op-eds that align with his focus on government & politics in Wisconsin would likely capture his attention.
Given his specific geographic focus (United States/Wisconsin/Madison), pitches should be tailored to reflect an understanding of these areas and their relevance to the topics he covers.

Talking about a revolution can sometimes sound like a whisper. Other times it sounds like a brief orchestral piece without any words at all.
For me late night TV ended on May 20, 2015. That was the last Late Show hosted by David Letterman.
It pays pretty well and the benefits are excellent — health care, pension, paid vacation. You get your own office and (bonus!) it comes with its own private bathroom. And the parking? We're talking rock star quality. Covered, heated, and just steps away from an elevator that whisks you up to your desk on the fourth floor.
Former Congressman Barney Frank died yesterday. He contributed a lot to his country and his party, but one of his most significant contributions was made in his final days.
Poor Ken Martin doesn't know which way to turn. First, the DNC Chair commissions a report from a Washington insider consultant (always a great idea!) to review why Democrats lost in 2024. Then, after he sees a draft and doesn't like it, he announces nobody may see what he doesn't like. Now last week for some reason he goes ahead and releases the damn thing anyway, even while disavowing it. And, on top of it all, the report is useless because it doesn't even begin to address what's fundamentally wrong with the party. It's also poorly written.
Yesterday, I offered my own take on what an honest post mortem on the 2024 election would look like for the Democrats. I concluded that the best solution going forward would be to split the party into two sub parties — progressives and moderates — with each agreeing to come together behind one candidate after the primaries.
Citizen Dave will be taking the summer off from his blog to find a publisher for his next book project.
Last month when I announced that I'd be taking the summer off to develop a new book project, YSDA readers — and the YSDA adjacent — rejoiced.
When I shut down my blog for the summer I noted that I would occasionally comment on the Wisconsin governor's race.
It looks like we have the most convincing evidence to date that Sara Rodriguez is the front runner for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination.
