Burgelis Campaign Rolls Out Longer List of Endorsements in advance of Tuesday Feb 20 Primary Election

MILWAUKEE, WI – County Supervisor Peter Burgelis today announced an expanded list of endorsements for his candidacy in the Spring 2024 election for Milwaukee’s 11th District Aldermanic seat. Burgelis has served just two years as the 15th District Supervisor on the Milwaukee County Board. His new endorsements include the Milwaukee Area Labor Council AFL-CIO and Amalgamated Transit Union Local 998. This is a result of Burgelis’ record of results for supporting workers, increased transit security funding, and holding departments accountable to improve working conditions and services to residents.

The primary election for Milwaukee’s 11th Aldermanic District is Tuesday February 20, 2024.

These new endorsements add to an impressive roster of almost two dozen Milwaukee Common Council members, County Board Supervisors, top leaders, and respected organizations. Supervisor Burgelis lists his accomplishments to include cutting property taxes for the first time since 1992, fixing justice system vacancies and wages, funding a new playground at Lyons Park, transplanting trees from the old County hospital to Mitchell Boulevard Park, adding traffic calming to Washington Park’s renamed roadway, renegotiating development agreements for Harley Park and a foreclosed factory, and adding $300K to the County Parks budget for 2024 summer aquatics needs to open as many pools as possible.

Burgelis said: “Whether meeting neighbors going door-to-door or at my Town Halls last week, I’m proud to get support from both liberals and conservatives because local elections aren’t partisan- we don’t have Republican snowplows or Democratic potholes in Milwaukee. Voters expect our electeds to fight for what’s right and for what improves our neighborhoods and quality of life. I’ve delivered for my constituents as County Supervisor and I’ll do the same for the 11th District as Alderman.”
