Tuesday’s primary sets stage for historic mayoral election in Milwaukee
Johnson is the acknowledged front-runner in a field of seven on Tuesday’s primary ballot. Four are Black — Johnson, Milwaukee County Sheriff Earnell Lucas, Democratic state Sen. Lena Taylor and community activist Ieshuh Griffin. Three — Ald. Marina Dimitrijevic, Taylor and Griffin — are women, in a city where no woman has ever held the mayor’s office. Only two — former Ald. Bob Donovan and events planner Michael Sampson — are white males.
