It is the first time a woman will serve in the position and the first time since at least 1998 that a Republican has been elected.

Now, is Samantha Kerkman a true Conservative, or is she a
decoy that will utterly destroy our brand in the state for
decades to come?

Good question.
If she is a Bush Leaguer like her neighbor Paul Ryan, it won’t go well.

Obama beat Romney by almost 10,000 votes in Kenosha Co. in 2012, but Trump carried the county (by a margin of 238 votes) over the Hildabeast in 2016.

“Now, is Samantha Kerkman a true Conservative, or is she a

I received no solicitations for money from Kerkman; incidentally, I receive NO solicitations without the word “conservative” in it.

Well I do declare this city should reach out to the BLM Organization that has reaped 90 million or more dollars and ask for money to revitalize the city that was ruined because of the movement.
There are some sweetheart BLM organizers living in a 6 million dollar home running the organization. Now tell me why would they be living in a million dollar home?

They have been question about it now the Ownership has been moved to Delaware. Where it is hidden from public record.

Smells like money laundering by BLM
