Tomorrow, April 3, is election day. Participation is April elections has been very poor the last few years. Hopefully, this year will be an exception. A surprisingly bitter State Supreme Court fight may drive voter turnout a little higher than it has been these last few years.
Anyway, on to my one endorsement for this election cycle.
Chris Liegel for Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge, Branch 26Liegel's background as an Assistant District Attorney is just what the doctor ordered, given the significant crime problems we are facing in Milwaukee at the moment. I also admit to having a soft spot for campaigns driven by the candidates own positive energy. His attendance at the Legion Post debate, his one to one campaigning, and the fact that he responded immediately to questions I sent speak loudly of the populist nature of his campaign. Chris Liegel brings a determination and resolve to his campaign which is hopefully an indication of how he will approach the job.
(See his campaign website.)
