Steve Scaffidi

Steve is the co-host of Point Taken, along with Kristin Brey, a weekday radio show on 620WTMJ in Milwaukee which focuses on the news & politics of the day. Above all else, divergent opinions are welcome on their show — a refreshing distinction in Milwaukee radio.

Before he worked in radio, Steve worked his way up the ranks of local government in his hometown of Oak Creek, Wisconsin, holding the titles of 3rd District Alderman and Common Council President before eventually becoming Mayor of Oak Creek from 2012 to 2017. He helped rally his community in the wake of the tragic Sikh Temple mass shooting in 2012.

Steve joined the WTMJ team in 2017, blending his wide range of skills to provide thoughtful commentary and analysis while appealing to a wide range of people across the political spectrum.

He is also the host of three podcasts: You Need to Listen, WTMJ Outdoors, and Scaffidiology, a home for him to explore topics outside of politics.

Steve is also a proud Packers season ticket holder who makes the case that being a season ticket holder and a shareowner gives him extra credibility on Packers takes.
