SPOONER, WI (DrydenWire) — Nick Polce, a U.S. Army Green Beret veteran and businessman who announced his campaign for Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor in 2025, will join DrydenWire founder Ben Dryden for a live-streamed conversation Tuesday morning, January 20, 2026, at 8:30a (CST).
The live show is part of DrydenWire’s ongoing series of long-form political conversations designed to help viewers get to know the person behind the campaign — not just the politics. The discussion is casual and conversational, not a traditional interview, with no prewritten questions. Topics are driven by what the guest wants to discuss, and viewers will be able to submit questions for Polce during the live stream.
Polce officially announced his campaign for Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin in 2025. A veteran of more than a decade of service as a Special Forces soldier in the U.S. Army, Polce transitioned into the private sector following his military career and now works as a businessman.
In announcing his campaign, Polce cited rising costs of living, criminal justice concerns, and the growing challenges facing Wisconsin families as key motivations for entering the race. He has said his priorities include lowering costs for families, expanding job opportunities, encouraging innovation and industry to come to Wisconsin, and ensuring every child has access to quality education.
Polce lives in Delavan, Wisconsin, with his family and is active in his community through veteran organizations, his church, and youth sports. He has said his military service and family life have shaped his commitment to public service and passing along values of faith, family, service, and hard work.
The show will stream live on DrydenWire’s Facebook page and is expected to run approximately 45 to 60 minutes.
Following the live broadcast, the full recording will be uploaded to the DrydenWire YouTube channel, where full episodes of DrydenWire’s live shows are archived. The video will also be embedded into an article on DrydenWire.com for those who are unable to watch live or wish to view the conversation again.
Readers are encouraged to tune in live Tuesday morning and take part by submitting questions during the show.
