**Frustrated with government? Your ballot is where change begins.**
In this episode of **Speakeasy Conversations**, Chris Muller sits down with Jay Schroeder for a candid discussion about election integrity, government accountability, and why he’s running for Wisconsin Secretary of State.
Schroeder shares the experiences that shaped his approach to public service—from fighting a property assessment to giving citizens a stronger voice at local government meetings. He explains his proposals for improving voter-roll maintenance, changing election oversight, and studying other states for solutions Wisconsin could adopt. The conversation also tackles his concerns about government spending and access to voter information.
At its heart is a simple question: **Who holds government accountable if citizens don’t participate?**
Chris and Jay make the case for turning frustration into action, learning about the candidates, and making your voice heard through your ballot. As Chris reminds listeners, millions of voters quietly casting their ballots can drown out the loudest political noise.
**Listen to the conversation. Share it with someone who’s considering sitting this election out. Then make your plan to vote—because accountability begins with us.**
