Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Tuesday, both acting Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson and former Alderman Robert "Bob" Donovan survived the low turnout primary election. 61,634 votes were cast in Tuesday's Mayoral race. Johnson and Donovan are allegedly Republicans, according to political and non-political sources and Donovan is also a Trump supporter.

Johnson is facing a federal lawsuit for excluding (banning) members of the Original Black Panthers and the Brown Berets from a Town Hall meeting that he held in October 2021.

Johnson identified himself as a Democrat. He is also concidered anti-Latino after signing a redistricting A maps ordinance that prevented the creation of a third Hispanic majority voting-age population district in the 13th Aldermanic District along with 11 Milwaukee Common Council members in mid January 2022 who passed the ordinance after members of the Latino community and their allies objected approving such an ordinance by Johnson that most likely violated the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Milwaukee Common Council and Johnson took the legal advice from the Milwaukee City Attorney's Office that prevented a third Hispanic majority voting-age population district in the Southside.

Donovan before he retired as an Alderman, he became involved in a controversial issue in which he tried to ban Taco Food trucks from S. 27 to S. 38 along W. National Ave. Former Mayor Tom Barrett vetoed an ordinance introduced by Donovan to ban Taco trucks. A public backlash of the Taco Food Truck ban ordinance ended with his decision to retire as Alderman.

Milwaukee is a large Democratic stronghold, but as it seems, the City will have a Republican as a City Mayor come April 5, the General Election. Both Johnson and Donovan are considered right wingers by multiple local activists (Facebook links: https://bit.ly/350bu1R and https://bit.ly/3sIV6uE).

In the 12th Milwaukee County Supervisor District in the Southside of Milwaukee, both former Wisconsin State Assembly Representative Josh Zepnick (D) and Juan Miguel Martinez, a union organizer and a self-confessed individual who admitted in an April 2021 interview on video with Mr. Nice Guy that he and three other friends jumped a Mexican police officer in Mexico City in 2004 and stole his badge, will now face-off in the April General Election.

2,377 votes were cast in the 12th District Milwaukee County Supervisor race on Tuesday.
