It is nice to see that the voters of Milwaukee County held off the big money that flowed in from around the country to try and defeat Sheriff David Clarke.
The Voters had their voices heard and Clarke won 52%-48%. Turnout for the election was amazing across the county. The Big Money that poured in from Bloomberg and many believe Chris Able (Milwaukee County Exec) seemed to fuel the fire on both sides. It most likely helped to increase voter turnout for Clarke's competitor, but it also fired up the voters on behalf of Clarke. Some areas that Clarke won had 400% increases in turnout from the last time Clarke ran. Clarke picked up 7 municipalities that he lost in previously.
Not only did Sheriff Clarke survive the onslaught of big money from the Left. Not only did the Left lose this battle that they poured in so many resources. Sheriff Clarke emerged as a bigger political threat to the left than he previously was. He became a bigger name across the state and in the National Political circles. It is widely believed that he may run for Mayor and the Left has really increased his political capital and fundraising capabilities with their latest stunt.
