Every two years, Bryan Steil reappears with ads talking about how he’s for working class people. He’s a liar and his record shows his interests are wealthy billionaires in Washington. Vote for Mitchell Bermann to enact real change.

@TomDaykin @journalsentinel So you’re saying that Gov Crowley could add permanent transit infrastructure to the project’s scope and avoid potential prolonged impacts?

Grateful for every conversation, handshake, and story shared along the way. I loved meeting so many people across southeastern Wisconsin. Now it’s time to come together—because we must defeat Bryan Steil this November.

An incredible night at Bastille Days as Mayor Cavalier Johnson and Consul General of France Charlotte Montel kicked off the Storm the Bastille Run.

Bryan Steil has a long list of crypto, digital asset and blockchain companies supporting his campaign. He’s also the chairman of the House subcommittee that oversees policy for digital assets like cryptocurrency. Shady.

@MhacklerTV @RepBryanSteil Where’s his proof?

[Peter Burgelis for Milwaukee @peterfomke]

Since Trump took office, Wisconsinites are paying $3,000 more in a year for necessities while over 45,000 of them have lost healthcare. Congressman Bryan Steil and Congressman Derrick Van Orden have stood by and allowed this. They have to go in November.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

July 8th, 2026

Burgelis Helps Deliver Another Win for Neighborhoods,
Vows to Bring the Same Results-Driven Leadership to Congress

WISCONSIN- Alderman and Democratic candidate for Congress Peter Burgelis today celebrated another major victory for residents following the announcement that a proposed large-scale data center has been removed from the Midtown Center redevelopment project.

The decision comes after months of neighborhood advocacy and public concerns about the project's impacts on nearby homes, including traffic, noise, energy consumption, and quality of life.

For Burgelis, the outcome represents more than a single development decision, it demonstrates how responsive government should work.

"When residents raised concerns, I didn't ignore them,I showed up, asked the hard questions, and fought to make sure their voices were heard, and that consequences would be impactful." Burgelis said. "That's what public service is about."

During the City's public review process, Burgelis personally testified before the Milwaukee City Plan Commission, pressing developers and city officials on a critical issue: What tools did the City actually have to hold the developer accountable if the more than twenty proposed safeguard conditions governing noise, power consumption, operations, and neighborhood impacts were violated.

"Agreements and conditions on paper only matter if they're enforceable," Burgelis said. "Residents deserved to know who would be responsible if promises weren't kept and what resources the City had to protect neighbors. Accountability shouldn't begin after a problem occurs, it should be built into every major development from day one."

The removal of the data center proposal reflects Burgelis' broader philosophy that economic development should improve neighborhoods, not ask residents to bear unnecessary burdens.

"I’m not anti-development or anti-data-center," Burgelis said. "I’m making sure development reflects community priorities. Data centers are a modern reality and are needed, we dont need them in anyone's backyard."

The Midtown victory adds to Burgelis' growing record of delivering tangible results for his residents, including:

Restoring funding for neighborhood road repairs and infrastructure improvements.
Passing landmark tenant fire safety protections to better protect families.
Supporting historic investments in fire trucks, emergency equipment, and public safety.
Strengthening government transparency and fiscal accountability.
Advancing responsible housing and neighborhood development policies.
Championing legislation that supports workers, small businesses, and safer communities.

Burgelis said those accomplishments demonstrate the kind of leadership the congressional district deserves in Washington.

"For too long, Congress has rewarded gridlock instead of results," Burgelis said. "I've built my record by listening to constituents, solving problems, and delivering real improvements that make everyday life better. Whether it's fixing roads, improving public safety, protecting neighborhoods, or holding government accountable, I've shown that I know how to get things done."

As a candidate for Wisconsin's First Congressional District, Burgelis said he is ready to expand that approach across Southeastern Wisconsin.

"I can't wait to deliver wins like this for families throughout Southeastern Wisconsin," Burgelis said. "That means bringing home federal infrastructure investments, lowering costs for working families, supporting organized labor, strengthening public safety, protecting our communities, expanding housing opportunities, and ensuring economic development creates opportunity without sacrificing quality of life."

"People don't elect us to make headlines, they elect people they trust to solve problems," Burgelis added. "My record proves I can do that, and I'm ready to bring that same results-oriented leadership to Congress."

Bryan Steil wants to suppress your right to vote. He is a danger to our democracy.

[Governor Tony Evers @GovEvers]

Rent, groceries, gas—you name it—everything is too darn expensive. While President Trump builds his golden ballroom and increases his own wealth, Wisconsinites are feeling the squeeze.

It's breathtaking how little he cares about working families.
