Representative, District 12
Pastor and former Milwaukee County supervisor Russell Goodwin, Sr. has long known the importance of being a positive force for change in his community. One of Goodwin’s top legislative priorities is combating reckless driving, for which he has created a six-point plan to stop the problem and keep Milwaukee residents safer. Goodwin is also keenly aware of the struggles Wisconsinites are having with the cost of living, and plans to introduce measures to increase access to affordable housing and keep property taxes fair and reasonable. He is running against conservative independent candidate Deanna Alexander, who has previously been endorsed by an extreme organization seeking to ban abortion. Russell Goodwin, Sr. is the more progressive choice in this race.
