Candidate for Milwaukee County executive on Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin board

Since Scott Walker was elected governor of Wisconsin, he is no longer Milwaukee County Executive. A special election will be held to fill that open seat. The runoff primary for the Milwaukee County Executive seat is Tuesday, February 15. The general election is Tuesday, April 15.  The county executive race is non-partisan, so party affiliation (ie, if a candidate would identify as Republican, Democrat, Green Party, Independent, etc.) will NOT be listed on the ballot. Do your research if you are going to vote!

Chris Abele, one of the candidates for Scott Walker’s former job, is an emeritus member of the Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin board. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and PolitiFact Wisconsin did an article on Abele, whose “federal donations have helped Wisconsin congressional candidates Russ Feingold, Dave Obey, Steve Kagen and Tammy Baldwin, as well as Paul Wellstone of Minnesota and Michael Bennet of Colorado.”
From Media Trackers:

Milwaukee County Executive candidate Chris Abele and his family’s Argosy Foundation have given tens of thousands of dollars to leftist organizations and candidates in recent years… The Argosy Foundation provided grants of under $20,000 for The Progressive magazine and Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin.
