Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Tuesday, Angel C. Sanchez, 53, announced that he submitted his required nomination papers seeking the Milwaukee County Supervisor District 14 seat. Sanchez is a former Milwaukee Alderman for the 12th Aldermanic District and has been a candidate fir the State Senate (2022) and State Assembly (2020) and the Milwaukee County School Board (2013).
Sanchez told Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) on Tuesday that if elected, he will work with anyone for Milwaukee County to receive its fair share of share revenue.
Milwaukee County pays nearly $3 billion in share revenues per year to the State and the State only returns $250 million to operate per year and the County falls on a $20 million in deficit per year.
Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley has proposed a 1% tax increase for Milwaukee County taxpayers, which already pay more of their share of taxes. Crowley should be focused instead in getting more of the Milwaukee County share revenue for the County to operate without a deficit than raise taxes.
Former Milwaukee County Supervisor, currently the Wisconsin State Assembly Representative Sylvia Ortiz-Velez attempted to address the unfair share revenue that the State takes from Milwaukee when she was a Supervisor, but to date, she hasn't followed through for County taxpayers at the State Assembly. Also, the current Milwaukee County Supervisor Juan Miguel Martinez hasn't addressed the unfair share revenues that the County pays the State each year. Marisabel Cabrera, another State Assembly Representative from Milwaukee County hasn't either made any effort in her multiple terms in office to help return more of the share revenue to the County.
To be fair about share revenue taxes payments to State, the City of Milwaukee also pays its share of share revenue and get less per year to operate efficiently. Neither Alderman Jose G. Perez, currently the President of the Common Council and Alderwoman JoCasta Zamarripa haven't made any effort to address the high share revenue that the City pays the State and to help the City to get its fair share revenue to avoid raising taxes.
The two other candidates for the Milwaukee County Supervisor District 14 are Caroline Gomez-Tom, 34, originally from Racine and Travis J. Hope, 44.
Gomez-Tom works for the Milwaukee Department of Health and previously worked at the Sixteenth Community Health Centers.
Hope is a SOC Community Organizer/Safety Lead, according to the Southside Organizing Center Facebook post 2020.
The Special Primary Election will be held on April 4, 2023 and Special Election will be held on May 2, 2023, the winner on the election will fill the remainder of the incumbent's two-year term, which expires on April 14, 2024.
