Cavalier Johnson makes history

At only 35 years old, Johnson is also the city’s first millennial mayor, bringing in a new generation to political power to City Hall.

Johnson defeated Ald. Bob Donovan in a special election, a victory for the politican who started as Common Council freshman in Wisconsin’s largest city.

“This city for the first time in our 176-year history has elected its first Black mayor. We did it,” Johnson told supporters at the Hilton Milwaukee City Center.

Congratulations Cavalier Johnson!
