Journal-Sentinel and Shepherd Express Endorse Pedro Colón

Posted Sep 03 at 9 PM

- Vote for Pedro Colón on September 9! -

Pedro is proud to receive the recent backing of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and the Milwaukee Shepherd Express.

Both papers have distinguished histories in Milwaukee and Pedro is honored to have earned recognition from two different editorial perspectives.

The Journal-Sentinel editorial describes Pedro as “engaged with the district,” “attentive” to his constituents, employing an “effective voice for Milwaukee,” and specifically owing to Pedro’s position on the budget-writing Joint Finance Committee having achieved "respect in the Legislature to be in a position to deliver for Milwaukee.”

The Milwaukee Shepherd Express in endorsing Pedro takes sharp issue with one of his opponents, describing “… extreme right-wing candidates running as Democrats in the Sept. 9 primary,” including Pedro’s district.

The Shepherd Express writes that “(t)he real Democrats who have been targeted by (Tom) Reynolds … deserve the Democratic primary voters’ support because they support the Democratic Party’s ideals,” endorsing Pedro and five of his Milwaukee colleagues.

Voters will decide next week if Pedro has earned another term, and Pedro is proud to participate in democracy at the ballot box where elections ought to always be decided.
