Cavalier Johnson made history Tuesday — and brought a new generation to political power at City Hall — becoming the first African American elected as Milwaukee’s mayor.
Overall, Johnson raised and spent more than four times as much money as Donovan did in the race. Since the start of the year, Johnson spent more than $650,000 compared with $160,000 for Donovan., an unusually large contribution in a local, nonpartisan race. Donovan did gain endorsements from two Republicans running for governor, Kevin Nicholson and former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch.
was widely believed to be funded by former Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele. And it pumped at least $150,000 into TV ads to help Johnson's campaign.The differences between Johnson and Donovan are many and stark: north side and south side, Black and white, Democrat and conservative, millennial and baby boomer, a half-dozen years in elected office and two decades.
“I always participate in the electoral process because it makes a difference,” said Terry Eiland, 56, who cast his ballot at James Madison Academic Campus on the northwest side. “You don’t have nothing to say if you don’t vote.”“Milwaukee has so many problems, so you do have to get the right person in there,” he said.
