Mark Chambers Jr. Announces Candidacy for Milwaukee Common Council

MILWAUKEE – Mark Chambers Jr. today announced his candidacy for the 2nd Aldermanic District, previously held by Mayor Cavalier Johnson:

“I am running because I want to serve this community. I lost my father due to gun violence. I lost one of my closest friends due to reckless driving in this very district. At the same time, I remember watching my grandmother, Ms. Lula Mae Chambers, be the community organizer and catalyst that brought everyone in the neighborhood together. I remember the block parties held in this district which strengthen our sense of community. As a lifelong resident, I witnessed the good and the bad, but I know that the 2nd Aldermanic District can be the beacon of hope it once was. That is why I’m waging a vibrant door to door campaign to garner the support of the great 2nd Aldermanic residents.

“While our city faces many challenges, my top priority is addressing crime and public safety and putting an end to the violence, not only in our community, but across Milwaukee. As a parent, I believe my children, and everyone else’s children, should be safe in their neighborhoods. We need a collaboration between law enforcement, community members, and local business leaders to take back our streets and hold bad actors accountable for their actions.

“As alderman, I will work across the board to improve our quality of life and ensure that everyone lives in a neighborhood with clean and safe streets, vibrant local businesses, and a true sense of community. It’s time to make our district the best it has ever been.”

The 2nd District comprises Midtown, Capitol Heights, Columbus Park, Westlawn Gardens, the Silver Spring, Silver Swan, Long View, Parkway Hills areas, Little Menomonee Parkway, and parts of Hampton Heights neighborhoods.
