County Supervisor Peter Burgelis today announced a comprehensive list of endorsements for his candidacy in the Spring 2024 election for Milwaukee’s 11th District Aldermanic seat. Burgelis, a mortgage professional, proudly serves as the 15th District Supervisor on the Milwaukee County Board. He has garnered support from a range of influential leaders and unions, including the Milwaukee Professional Fire Fighters, IAFF Local 215, and the Milwaukee Deputy Sheriffs’ Association.

These add to an impressive roster of almost two dozen Milwaukee Common Council members, County Board Supervisors, top leaders, and respected unions. Among the notable endorsements is Marcelia Nicholson, Chairwoman of the Milwaukee County Board.

“I am committed to delivering results for residents and advocating tirelessly for my constituents. Serving them is an honor. Our accomplishments include delivering the largest tax reduction in the county’s history, while ensuring the continued excellence of our Parks and transportation systems. When I first ran for my County Board seat, I vowed to be focused on real solutions – and I am proud to say I delivered on that promise. Milwaukee is the best – period. We stand out for our rich resources in talent, recreation, and entertainment, which we continually strive to showcase. We’re drawing national attention as a great place to study, a superb place to work, and an ideal place to call home,” said Peter Burgelis, “In my professional life, I get to see the celebration and smiles when my clients connect with the right institutions to make their home-buying dreams come true. When working with the departments or employees as a County Supervisor I see the same satisfaction and inner light when public employees do a job well done, and relish the accomplishments that make Milwaukee better.

“I have a pure love for Milwaukee, and a deep respect for everyone living and working here. With a proven track record of achieving legislative victories for my constituents, I have a strong working relationship with other City and County employees which I value immensely. My public service is focused on results that make a positive impact in our community. I’ll do the hard work necessary to achieve that and collaborate with the other leaders to ensure our City thrives. Today I am honored to share these endorsements:”
