Democratic Party of Milwaukee County
“The Democratic Party of Milwaukee County is committed to empowering citizens and electing leaders who embody our values of progress, inclusivity, and coalition building. Jack Eckblad stands out as a candidate who truly represents these ideals. His dedication to improving our communities, advocating for public transportation, affordable housing, and our county parks, as well as his commitment to democratic principles align with our mission. We are proud to endorse Jack Eckblad, a candidate who not only believes in our values, but is also ready to work tirelessly to move Milwaukee County forward.”
Shepherd Express
“The Shepherd Express endorses Jack Eckblad for Milwaukee County Supervisor District 4. For the past 15 years he has been a community organizer with some significant victories under his belt. Some of these victories have been in some very red areas like West Bend. He attributes his successes to being a very enthusiastic, progressive and effective bridge builder. In a non-partisan body like the Milwaukee County Board, his skill set as a bridge builder would be very useful. If elected, he wants to 1) work to put our Milwaukee County Parks on a more sustainable economic course which recognizes the value, for example, of the revenue generating efforts like our beer gardens, 2) work to strengthen our public transit system which is essential to enable many lower income people to get to their job, and 3) Make sure that the recently passed provision to have an Independent Audit of the county jail gets implemented in a fair, honest and effective manner. When we have a death in the county jail, it hurts the trust we need in all levels of our government. Please Vote for John (Jack) Eckblad.”
