In partnership with
City of Milwaukee Mayoral Debate
Cavalier Johnson & Bob Donovan
With the election for mayor of the City of Milwaukee right around the corner, the Wisconsin Policy Forum, Greater Milwaukee Committee, and Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce hosted a debate that challenged the candidates to address the critical issues facing the city. The following issues have been raised by Forum research:
- The city’s structural deficit, revenue structure, and overall financial condition
- The city’s skyrocketing employer pension contribution and possible options to reduce it
- Strategies to address crime, including appropriate levels of police staffing and investment in violence prevention
- The challenges facing the Milwaukee Health Department and how it should function post-pandemic
- The need for more affordable housing and the role of city government in promoting it
- City economic development policies, including the future of Century City and the Hop
Our media partner for the debate, WisconsinEye, recorded the debate. Watch the video here.
