A Q+A with Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes
Members can join in as we chat with Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes about issues of the day.
Mandela Barnes.
On Thursday September 10th at 5:30 p.m. Urban Milwaukee President Jeramey Jannene and Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes will virtually sit down to chat about his rise to Lieutenant Governor, what the job actually entails, his public focus on addressing climate change, use of Twitter for far more than bland political statements and his thoughts on the movement for racial justice, including the recent news out of Kenosha. And we want our members to join us.
Elected alongside Governor Evers in 2018, Barnes is only the second African American ever elected to statewide office in Wisconsin. A Milwaukee native, Barnes, 33, is a graduate of Milwaukee Public Schools and previously served in the State Assembly.
