“We love David” or “we’re already voting for him” are the two most common things I heard knocking doors today for @DavidCCrowley this morning in Shorewood 🫡
Here are the facts:
- Public transit in WI has long suffered because of Republicans stripping funding away from communities that need it
- Employees have and will always have health care, despite your misinformation
- Act 12 is funding police, fire, EMS in all corners of WI
@suprolland@DavidCCrowley It is worth noting that the people who have worked directly with Crowley have wonderful things to say about him. https://t.co/RgHeedtAtq
Found this post from Milwaukee County Supervisor Shawn Rolland (@suprolland), who represents much of Wauwatosa, to be a particularly interesting one.
He writes about electability in the Democratic primary race, and about why he's backing @DavidCCrowley.
"He knows his stuff. He has an incredible life story. He is an impressive leader and I believe he would be a great governor. Can he win? Yeah, I think all of them can win. And I think he has built strong relationships with people on the other side of the aisle. He could potentially earn cross-over votes, inspire young people - and win by a wide margin."
From a teenager with a dream to a champion, MVP, and global ambassador for Milwaukee. Thank you, @Giannis_An34, for the memories, the pride, and the countless ways you helped put Milwaukee on the world stage.
Milwaukee will always be proud to have been part of your story. 💙
Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley issues a lengthy statement on Giannis’ departure, highlighting his open love for the community and the 2021 championship run.
“Milwaukee will always be home to Giannis Antetokounmpo.”
Giannis Antetokounmpo helped transform not only the Milwaukee Bucks, but our entire community.
Since arriving to Milwaukee in 2013, Giannis has done more than become one of the greatest players in NBA history – he made Milwaukee County his home. He built a life here and welcomed his family into our community. Over the past 13 years, Milwaukee embraced Giannis, and Giannis embraced Milwaukee in return, creating a bond that extends far beyond basketball.
Upon the heels of the Bucks’ NBA Championship victory in 2021, there was an unmatched sense of excitement across Milwaukee County. From the electric atmosphere that filled our neighborhoods after Game 6, to the pride we all felt during the championship parade, we would not have those memories without our MVP.
Giannis has always carried himself with humility, determination, and a deep appreciation for Milwaukee. As County Executive and a proud Bucks season ticket holder, I've had the opportunity to see firsthand the impact Giannis has had both on-and-off the court. He put Milwaukee on the world stage, invested in our community, and inspired countless young people to believe that anything is possible through hard work and perseverance.
While Bucks fans across Milwaukee County are saddened to see him leave, we are also incredibly grateful for everything he gave to this organization and our region. His legacy will forever be a part of Milwaukee's story. The memories he created, the championship he helped deliver, and the pride he brought to our city will not be forgotten.
On behalf of Milwaukee County, I want to thank Giannis for his years of leadership, his commitment to our community, and the joy he brought to so many Milwaukeeans. We wish him, Mariah, and their entire family continued success and happiness in this next chapter.
Milwaukee will always be home to Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Juneteenth reminds us of the progress we've made and the work ahead in the fight for freedom, equity, and justice for all.
Today, I joined thousands of community members at the 55th Annual Juneteenth Jubilee Parade and Celebration – one of the longest-running and largest Juneteenth celebrations in the nation. It was inspiring to see so many families, neighbors, community leaders, and organizations come together to honor this important day and celebrate the strength, resilience, and contributions of Black Americans.
As we celebrate progress, we must remain committed to advancing opportunity, breaking down barriers, and building a more equitable future for everyone. Thank you to everyone who helped make today's celebration so special. Milwaukee continues to show what is possible when we come together as one community.
guys I gotta tell you as someone who has had the honor of serving under County Executive Crowley for the past 6 years that he is the real deal: progressive, effective, authentic, & somehow both visionary and pragmatic at the same time
Wisconsin would go far with him as Governor
Happy Juneteenth from Team Crowley! It is always a blast celebrating freedom in Milwaukee, at one of the oldest and longest running Juneteenth celebrations in the nation. Thanks so much to everyone who stopped at our table to say hello!
Tom either doesn't understand American history, or he just doesn't care about recognizing the history of ALL Americans. Either way, it's disqualifying for someone running to represent the entire state.
I’m enthusiastically supporting @DavidCCrowley for Governor because I firmly believe he’s the progressive candidate who can both lead our state forward AND win statewide.
🎥 Watch his announcement video and learn about his story if you haven’t.
President Trump’s war in Iran is driving up gas prices for Wisconsinites, but the damage doesn't stop at the pump. Rising fuel costs also put strain on the services that taxpayers rely on, pushing local governments toward growing budget deficits. https://t.co/GmlrSwlRDl
It was inspiring to see so many Milwaukee County residents come together at the annual Pride Parade to celebrate love, embrace inclusion, and support the LGBTQIA+ community that enriches our county every day.
Pride is about honoring those who fought for equality, uplifting those who continue that work today, and reaffirming that everyone deserves to live authentically and safely.
Milwaukee County is committed to building a community where every resident feels welcomed, valued, and respected. Happy Pride Month, and thank you to everyone who helped make yesterday's celebration so special!
The Milwaukee County Transit System is essential infrastructure for working families across our community. Today, we reported out the significant organizational and fiscal progress that we’ve realized over the past year in moving public transit forward in Milwaukee County.
Through collaboration and new leadership, my administration has worked with the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors to sustain bus routes and paratransit service in 2026, address operating costs, reduce fare evasion, enhance safety, modernize core infrastructure, and take intentional steps to plan for MCTS’ future.
While the progress we’ve realized is encouraging, we still face a serious structural funding challenge next year, as MCTS is one of the only major transit systems in the country without a dedicated source of funding. Looking ahead, I will continue advocating for the funding our transit system needs because the strength of our community depends on keeping people connected.
