"We highly recommend Sheri Carter, for her stronger and longer track record. She can point to lots of accomplishments, including park improvements and making sure the South Side keeps a grocery store. She wisely opposed a full-time City Council and giant pay hike.
As one of the first two Black women elected to the council — and the first to become council president — she’s been an advocate for body cameras on patrol officers for greater accountability and public trust. Carter wants more affordable housing — including access to loans to own single-family homes or condos.
She wants to make sure plans for a faster, more efficient bus system treat her district fairly. While she’s dedicated to her district, she also understands the importance of Downtown and supports more room for diverse events and pedestrians, including on State Street. We endorse Carter as the clear choice." -Wisconsin State Journal
