Congratulations Erik! While we don’t agree on every issue, I did vote for you. I think we need new blood and a different direction for SM’s future.
So thrilled for you…and for South Milwaukee! Congratulations!
I moved to South Milwaukee in March 2010 and found your blog via a google search. Your blog is a great source of news and information and your dedication to keeping us informed is the reason why I voted for you yesterday. Best of luck in the general election.
