Press Release
Statement on the Kyle Rittenhouse Trial Verdict
Common Council President Cavalier Johnson November 19, 2021
Today’s verdict in Kenosha shows that the arc toward justice is still bending.
Is this the Wisconsin we’ve built?
I suggest that as a state, we should reimagine who we are and think about how our justice system works for everyone.
Kenosha’s heart has ached for too long. I’m praying for healing and peace there, across Wisconsin, and across our great country.
