Kyle Ashley, Adult Advisor of the Milwaukee County Youth Commission, was also present, commending County Executive Crowley for his impressive and impactful first term in office.

“He put Milwaukee County on the path toward fiscal sustainability through advocating for the passage of Act 12 and new revenue generating tools,” Ashley said.

Crowley talked about the accomplishments of the past four years and shared his optimistic vision for the future of both the County and the State of Wisconsin.

“Over the next four years, committed to building upon our successes,” Crowley said. “I’m committed to addressing the obstacles that are before us. And I’m committed to ensuring Milwaukee County remains a vibrant place to live, work, and succeed. The same goes for the entire State of Wisconsin.”

“Because here is the deal: What’s good for Milwaukee County is good for all of Wisconsin. And all across the state, strong cities and strong towns are making Wisconsin that much better. That’s why we must keep working together, because we’ve delivered real results and improved the quality of life for those we serve. But again, we can’t stop here. Let us find common ground around the region and the state to advance our shared interests and priorities that move all of us forward.”
