“While Trump support doesn’t appear to be growing in Wisconsin — at least not yet — there are a few ways the demonstrations and outrage over the shooting of Blake could end up actually helping Democrats. Ahead of the election, there has been a focus on organizing, particularly in the city of Milwaukee, home to Wisconsin’s largest population of minority voters, and the action—or inaction—in the state Legislature over police policies could serve as a motivator come November.”
“Democratic state Representative Evan Goyke, whose district includes Milwaukee’s Sherman Park, said some of his constituents have been waiting years for the Legislature to take meaningful action on police policies. He noted protests this summer supporting Black Lives Matter weren’t just in the urban centers of Milwaukee and Madison in the wake of Floyd’s death, but in places like Portage, a city of 10,000 people 40 miles north of Madison. The momentum his constituents are finally seeing will weigh on their minds come November if they don’t see the Legislature act, Goyke said. ‘This is not new. The pain is not new. The community coming together to heal is not new,’ Goyke said. ‘What we’re hoping for is some form of action, some step in the right direction.'” – Politico.
