David Crowley, who is running against State Senator Chris Larson to be the next Milwaukee County Executive, is apparently more than a bit confused about who is endorsing him.
Crowley's campaign has been sending out text messages like this one, bragging about being the only candidate to receive endorsements from Republican legislators:
This would fit in with his Abele-esque talking point about being able to work across the aisle so well.
Why he would think that this is a good selling point, I don't understand, especially given the way that the Republicans have been treating Milwaukee for the past ten years.
However, there is a problem with Crowley's talking point. If one checks his list of endorsements on his website, he doesn't list one Republican. Not one.
It is my understanding that Crowley has been endorsed by Deanna Alexander, who is definitely a Republican, but is not and never has been a state legislator. She is a Milwaukee County Supervisor who is mercifully not running for reelection this year.
So what gives? If he has indeed been endorsed by Republican legislators, why are they not included on his website. Or is he simply lying about it to appeal the right wing base that supported his dark money benefactor, Boss Abele?
ADDENDUM: It has come to my attention that the website and the text were not technically Crowley's but that of the practical campaign run by Abele's PAC.
