“Our incredible showing in the primary is a clear statement from the voters that they are ready for new leadership in Milwaukee County government," said Chris Larson.
"I didn't run because I wanted to raise my profile for something else, for some other political seat. I didn't run because I wanted to win a fight with somebody or defeat this party or that party. I ran because I believe in government. I love my home. I love this county," said Abele.
