The deadly violence in Milwaukee MUST stop!!

This afternoon, at a youth flag football game in my district, a person was killed in an act of gun violence. At a flag football game!

Milwaukee we MUST do better. We MUST be able to know and accept when we are wrong, and we MUST be able to resolve conflicts without resorting to violence.

I offer my condolences to the family of the victim from this incident. I pledge to help them seek justice and demand that adults begin to model positive behavior for our kids.

Milwaukee we MUST do better for ourselves, our children, and neighbors for the future of our city.
