“JoCasta has always been a champion for the City of Milwaukee, and I am confident she will bring passion and dedication with her to City Hall,” said Mayor Barrett. “I’m proud to support and endorse JoCasta in this race and look forward to continuing to work with her in improving Milwaukee.”

“It’s an honor to have Mayor Barrett’s support,” said Rep. Zamarripa. “I was born and raised on Milwaukee’s near south side, and I understand the unique trials and triumphs our city has experienced. I look forward to working with the Mayor to ensure the voices of the 8th District are heard, as we move forward together toward an even brighter and safer Milwaukee.”
