Marcelia Nicholson-Bovell is also from 53206
Those who don’t know anything about Milwaukee’s 53206 zip code should read up on it. I consider both David Crowley and Cavalier Johnson to be role models for young men when it comes to fatherhood/family. And I admire that they made it out of one of the toughest and most challenged zip codes in the entire country - where the black male incarceration rate is around 62%. They made something of themselves.
That’s the part of their stories I like. I think they are role models to young men in that way. Chevy also doesn’t run around trashing the police.
I don’t agree with many of their policy choices or ideology, and I don’t believe Crowley has been a competent county executive for a myriad of reasons and I don’t think he will be a good governor who will stand up to unions…and he dissembles way too much, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t admire parts of their back stories. Because I do, and it’s okay to acknowledge that.
Keep the criticism focused on policy and effectiveness.

😆 Hey Community (Common Unity)
Pay for private school out of your pocket or attend your neighborhood public school!
Easy!
"About one in five Wisconsin students, and one in two in Milwaukee, attend a school of choice."
Will David Crowley and Democrats respect those choices?

I remember my classmates from high school going to Urban Underground. I believe it was located on Fond Du Lac Ave….
News: Dr. Howard Fuller, iconic civil rights activist and education reform advocate, on David Crowley being elected Wisconsin governor:
“I’ve known David since high school. I’m really proud of what he has been able to do, but it also speaks to the kind of work Sharlen and Reggie (Moore) did, who created Urban Underground for the express purpose of developing someone like David.
“Like any Black person with even a modicum of understanding, this is clearly a historic moment in Wisconsin.
“I’m not proud of him just because he’s the first Black governor, I’m proud of him because I think he has what it takes to serve the people of Wisconsin. That’s the part that I’m more focused on, is what he’s gonna be able to do to try and make lives better.
“Obviously, as a Black person, I’m tremendously proud of him, but I also want to make sure we support him, because the work has just started.
“If you look at what happened in the country, this was an absolute rebuke of Donald Trump. When you really listen to what people are talking about, they were concerned about corruption and affordability. They were concerned about the cruelty of this despicable ass human being who is the president of the United States. And a lot of that cruelty was directed at Black people.
“And so, from my perspective, I hope David addresses the real issues that are causing people to suffer.”
