MILWAUKEE – In response to Vice President JD Vance’s visit to Milwaukee, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley released the following statement:
“As Vice President JD Vance arrives in Milwaukee County to repeat the President’s false claims, working families here are asking a much different question: Why isn’t the Trump administration focused on lowering costs and making life more affordable?
“Instead of helping people get ahead, we’ve seen an administration that too often puts political gain ahead of the public interest. Recent reports have raised serious questions about President Trump and his children using their positions of power to line their own pockets. From ethics concerns and conflicts of interest to policies that undermine confidence in our democratic institutions, it’s clearer than ever that the American people deserve accountability from those in power.
“Here in Milwaukee County, our priorities are clear: create good-paying jobs, make our communities safer, invest in our infrastructure, and ensure families have the opportunity to succeed. That’s what Wisconsin residents need: leaders who are focused on solutions – not their own special interests. We need leaders committed to strengthening our democracy, respecting the rule of law, and delivering results that improve the lives of working families in Milwaukee County. Unfortunately, I don’t believe Vice President Vance will bring that message to our community today, and Milwaukee residents deserve better.”
