On the northwest side of the city, I joined members from @SEIU in Wisconsin along with United States Representative @Gwen4Congress and Milwaukee CEX @DavidCCrowley to encourage Milwaukee residents to vote early and to elect Judge Susan Crawford the next Justice on our state Supreme Court!

Move over Punxsutawney Phil because apparently March 19th is the new Groundhog’s Day. It’s a day, usually sometime before an election, when Republican politicians for statewide office claim with zero proof and zero truth that their fellow Wisconsinites who happen to in Milwaukee are somehow cheating to rig those elections. It’s typically, predictable, pathetic, garbage rammed down the throats of our neighbors across the state that continues to drive wedges between our communities. It’s lies at worst and untrue political talk at best that shouldn’t even be coming out of the mouth of someone seeking a seat on Wisconsin’s highest court. Judge Brad Schimel and @TeamSchimel, ALL of the voters in Milwaukee deserve to have their ballots counted — including the ones that vote for you. If you want to use your platform as partisan politicians have done before to talk about Milwaukee, then you should use it to join the ranks of reasonable Republican elected officials who seek to allow the City to process ballots early so that they aren’t counted late — a change that I as Democrat also support. Your political party has controlled both houses of the Legislature since 2011 and that includes the time that you were attorney general of Wisconsin. This is state law change that could have happened anytime since and should still happen. This troupe against your fellow Wisconsinites and our right to vote is beyond tired and clearly partisan. If you want to be a part of the President’s support network, knock your socks off. Just don’t think that you’re going to do it from the bench while scapegoating the people of Milwaukee along the way. The bottom line is that while President Donald Trump won his election, Mr. Hovde simply lost. Period. Unlike him, I hope that you actually accept the results of the election as Vice President Harris has.
