Bob Donovan’s Repeat Attempt To Smear Cavalier Johnson.

Local Indicator Of The Need For Campaign Finance Reform
Full Disclaimer: I have endorsed Common Council President and Acting Mayor Cavalier Johnson for Mayor of Milwaukee and will continue my support through this election cycle.

And Robin Vos Could Have Had A Retired Judge Who Knows How Elections Work!
Remember the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board? Most of you probably do and we’ve written about it a number of times over the years.
