The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting that State Senator Chris Larson (D – Milwaukee) is running for Milwaukee County Executive. This will be Sen. Larson’s second attempt having lost to incumbent Chris Abele in 2016. County Executive Abele is not running for re-election in 2020. State Sen. Chris Larson on…

I don’t think many people saw this coming… Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele is not seeking re-election, he announced Wednesday. That’s a reversal from May, when Abele told the Journal Sentinel he was running again. He said he first ran because he wanted to make a difference and thinks government…

In this morning’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Molly Beck reports that Citizen Action Wisconsin depicted Governor Scott Walker (who is running for re-election) and State Senator Leah Vukmir (who is running for the US Senate) behind a target graphic. What the fuck was Citizen Action Wisconsin thinking? There is absolutely no…

Here’s a photo of Chris Larson, who’s challenging incumbent Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele, doing something I’ve heard Abele hasn’t really brought himself to do much of….taking questions from citizens of Milwaukee County.

Over the past ten days or so I received a number of unusual campaign style literature pieces. They prominently feature Milwaukee 14th District Alderman Tony Zielinski although they aren’t actually election related pieces. I live in the 14th so it makes sense that I received them.

In yet another example of how completely negative Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele’s reelection campaign has gotten, I received yet another literature piece from Abele’s campaign attacking challenger Chris Larson. For those of you following along at home, this latest lit piece comes on the heels of two previous lit…

Three weeks ago I wrote about the attack ad being run by the campaign of incumbent Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele. The ad awkwardly attempted to tie Abele’s challenger, progressive Chris Larson, to Republican Gov. Scott Walker while conveniently neglecting to mention Abele’s strong ties to Gov. Walker and Republicans….

I”m not sure which genius over at Chris Abele’s campaign headquarters came up with this gem of a lit piece, but whomever it is shouldn’t be allowed to make decisions on any lit pieces in the future. Here’s a closeup of the lit piece, in which the Abele campaign makes…

Earlier today, I got a flashy (and probably very expensive) mailer from incumbent Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele. The mailer doubled down on Abele’s claims that challenger Chris Larson took money from “big banks” and then voted their way – a claim Chris Larson himself has thoroughly discredited. “When Abele’s…
