Touts all six sheriffs in WI-01 endorsing Steil
JANESVILLE, Wis. – First Congressional District candidate Bryan Steil’s campaign launched a digital ad today touting support from the law enforcement community. Last week, Steil announced the endorsement of all six sheriffs in the First District, both Democrats and Republicans.
Bryan Steil: “I’m proud to back the badge and have the backing of all six sheriffs in the district. In Congress, I’ll work to combat opioid abuse and prioritize community safety so that our law enforcement agencies get the resources and training they need to be effective.”
You can watch the ad, titled “Law Enforcement’s Choice,” here. The ad’s transcript is below:
Milwaukee County Sheriff Richard Schmidt (D): “Bryan Steil’s character, his personal commitment to obeying the law, makes him the candidate that law enforcement can support.”

And today it’s a great honor to know, the six sheriffs, have my back. It’s time to support our brave men and women in uniform. We need to Back the Badge.”
Steil’s ad will appear on digital and social media platforms.
