The County Exec looks to be open at this point. Chris Abele has outspent his opponent by 2-1 and still lost in the Primary by a slim margin.
Why is it so close between two Democrats?
Chris Abele has been spending a ton of money trying to show all of the great things that he has done for Milwaukee County. How he has saved the Milwaukee Bucks, Helped Single Fathers, Improved about everything in the County.
Chris Larson hasn't had to spend a whole lot of money to get his point across. The nightly news stories do it all for him. He then just has to pound the point home in speeches. Abele's personal vendetta against Sheriff Clark has proven an obstacle Abele hasn't been able to answer. Crime is skyrocketing in the County and Abele keeps taking money away from the Sheriff. He claims he is making law enforcement better. He tried to take away law enforcement duties of the Airport from the Sheriff, taking away manpower, taking away funding. By the way did you see the big crime spree at the Airport Recently? How about the disaster at the Mitchell Domes? How about the concrete falling off the Milwaukee County Courthouse?
Larson doesn't need to spend money to show the unaddressed problems in Milwaukee County. The News does it for him. Abele decided to be an opponent of the Sheriff instead of working with him to better the County. Now he has real problems and no real help.
