According to a report by Steve Schultze of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Republican State Rep. Jeff Stone and Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, a Republican too afraid to run as what he really is, are both considering challenging incumbent Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele in 2012. While I’m hardly a full-throated supporter of County Executive [...] Apparently Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke didn’t get the memo that he’ll never win any elected office other than the one he currently occupies.

Jeff Plale (Democratic primary in 7th State Senate District): A lot of money has been spent in this race, including scads of money from outside groups on both sides, and the race has [...] Last week I asked why Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke won’t debate his opponent in the Democratic primary for the office currently held by Clarke, and while I don’t know all the reasons why Clarke is avoiding debating Chris Moews, I’m betting it might be because Clarke, a “Democrat,” has been really really busy talking [...] Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, who’s facing a tough primary challenge from Milwaukee Police Detective Chris Moews, seems to be avoiding two public debates scheduled for the two candidates, as noted by Moews in a recent press release: Noting that Sheriff David Clarke had not confirmed his attendance at two already-scheduled debates, Sheriff candidate Chris [...] |
