David D. King Announces Intent to Run for Milwaukee County Executive

MILWAUKEE, Wis. — Today, I’m announcing my intent to run for Milwaukee County Executive in the anticipated special election. Tomorrow, November 11, I’ll fill out my campaign paperwork as I take the next step toward getting on the ballot.

Milwaukee County, let me tell you why I’m stepping forward. You work hard for your money. You deserve to know where your county tax dollars go, what services they pay for, and whether those services are reaching the people who need them. When something falls short, you deserve to know who’s responsible and what they’re going to do about it.

When a senior needs a ride to a doctor’s appointment, can they count on it? When a person with a disability calls the county for help, how long do they wait? When a family is facing a mental health crisis, do they get the follow-up they need? Those are the questions I’m going to ask. I want the county to show people how long they’re waiting, how many are getting help, and where we need to do better.

From the City of Milwaukee to every city and village in this county, I want to hear from you. If a county service worked for you, tell me what made the difference. If you called for help and got the runaround, I want to hear that too. The people who depend on these services ought to have a say in how we improve them.

I’m ready to listen, ask the hard questions, and get to work.

Your County. Your Money. Real Results.
