Iโm grateful to the people of Milwaukee for electing me as the 45th Mayor of the City of Milwaukee. We have a lot of work to do, and Iโm looking forward to getting that work done in collaboration with community partners,
@MKE_CC
, the County, the State and the federal government.
The Biden administration has delivered on our request for millions of dollars to improve pedestrian, bicyclist, and roadway safety.
@USDOT
Secretary Pete Buttigieg called me to share the good news.
Herb Kohl was one of Milwaukee's favorite sons and if it weren't for his legacy, there wouldn't be an RNC, DNC, professional basketball, or any number of large acts in Wisconsin.
As soon as I learned that the honorary sign bearing his name was covered, I reached out.
I am highly disappointed about the WI Supreme Court decision on drop boxes. Letโs be clear: a strong democracy needs robust voter participation. People who believe in free and fair elections should look for ways to increase voter access.
This morning I received a call from DNC Chairman Tom Perez informing me that Milwaukee was selected to host the 2020 Democratic National Convention. Milwaukee is a first-class city and we are ready to showcase it on one of the largest stages in the world.
#DNC2020
We're now fortunate to announce that we have found two locations that are absolutely fabulous for allowing more people to exercise their right to vote. Nationally, Milwaukee has become the leader by providing both
@FiservForum
and Miller Park for early voting.
The night sky is filled with BLUE & YELLOW pride tonight as Milwaukee cheers on our

Don't forget to wear your Brewers gear Friday to keep the support going.

The passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal is a once-in-a-generation investment that will create millions of jobs to modernize our infrastructure, address the climate crisis and grow our economy. This is a historical piece of legislation for America and Milwaukee.
The City of Milwaukee has removed the Deputy Director of our Election Commission following stunning information about allegations against her.
I was told yesterday that she apparently sought fictitious military ballots from a state election website and had those ballots..

As I raised my hand and swore to perform my duties, I did so with a solemn commitment to the people of Milwaukee. I will lead this city with my full energy, with the highest level of integrity, and with an unwavering focus on building a better, stronger, and safer city.
When long-held rights are taken away, we should be alarmed. Women should have the right to control their own bodies. I am a husband and a father of two daughters, and I am sensitive to what this ruling means for them. Todayโs Supreme Court decision is a disappointment.
We are so glad that

@Bucks

It was an honor to welcome
@POTUS
to Milwaukee. The Biden administration continues to invest in infrastructure improvements and community development, resulting in a better economy for Milwaukee and Wisconsin families.
Today, we unveiled a plan consisting of over 70 projects designed to reduce reckless driving and increase bicycling safety and mobility in 2024. I aim to have fifty miles of protected bicycle lanes under construction or in active development by the year 2026.
Milwaukee has been named one of the 25 best places to travel in 2023 by National Geographic.
There is a lot to love in our city, and we should never lose sight of the fact that Milwaukee is a truly great place!
Kris and I were awestruck seeing the Daniel Hoan Memorial Bridge shine so brightly. Thank you,
@LightTheHoan
, for your efforts to illuminate one of Milwaukeeโs most iconic bridges.
Convention organizers understood the importance of Senator Kohl to our community and the covering signage has been removed.
I just left the Deer District after verifying myself.
I am extremely thankful to President Biden for having the confidence in me to serve him, the State Department, and most importantly, the United States of America in Luxembourg. It is a tremendous honor, it is a responsibility, and itโs something I am very excited about.
During this pandemic, I have seen Milwaukeeans step up in meaningful ways to serve our community. Today, I would like to highlight the work of Chef Caitlin Cullen of The Tandem. Her restaurant serves an upwards of 300 free community meals daily.
Last weekโs unprovoked attack in Cathedral Square Park on two Milwaukee women who were wearing hijabs is both horrific and unacceptable. I stand with all of Milwaukee decrying the hateful acts.
It was my honor to welcome
@POTUS
to Milwaukee today. President Biden shared a compelling message about the success of Bidenomics and its impact on Milwaukee.
Welcome
@SecretaryPete
to Milwaukee! Together, we are facilitating international agricultural trade through Port Milwaukee.
Partnerships are key, and thanks to the Biden-Harris administration's investments, we are making a real difference, creating jobs and boosting our economy.

Vel Phillips was a relentless fighter for civil rights in Milwaukee. She marched for fair housing as a young adult and she dedicated her life to improving our city, both as an alderwoman and judge. Though she is no longer with us, we must continue the work she started.
I am proud to celebrate the arrival of Amtrak Borealis in Milwaukee! This service enhances connectivity and opens new travel opportunities for residents and visitors. I encourage everyone to take advantage of Amtrak Borealis.

Milwaukee is witnessing tremendous growth and activity. New buildings, outdoor spaces, attractions, and landscaping are adding to the fabric of our neighborhoods. These awards celebrate the innovative efforts that make our city a great place to live, work, and have fun.

Today marked a historic day in Milwaukee with the passage of a 2% city sales tax by the Common Council. In taking this action, the Council has protected Milwaukee and its residents from unimaginable cuts to library and public safety services.

I signed a resolution today that moves Milwaukee toward a more sustainable future. City government will get 25% of its electricity needs from renewable sources by 2025 โ a goal set more than a decade ago.
I stopped by Millie's Italian Sausages at the

I stand with Israel. The murderous terrorist attack by Hamas cannot possibly be justified, and I completely support Israelโs right to defend itself and to protect its citizens. People everywhere deserve to live in peace. People everywhere deserve to be safe from hostilities.
