If you live in Milwaukee's East Side or Riverwest neighborhoods, you likely know there's a special election Tuesday. This will fill a vacant seat on the city's Common Council, and there are eight candidates seeking to fill the seat. 

The Wisconsin Green Party strongly urges you to vote for Joshua Anderson for City Council in the Third District.

Josh best represents Green values in this race. His campaign has addressed these issues:

• Public Housing: If tenants had control over (housing authority) day-to-day operations, we never would have been in this mess.”
• Creating a public energy utility, replacing WE Energies: “When profit is the first priority, people will not be served.”
• Money in politics and other electoral reforms: “While there are many reforms needed to re-empower ordinary people to take control of their democracy, removing the ability of corporations to buy elections is a good start.”
• The anti-nuclear weapons "Back from the Brink" resolution: “No one benefits from nuclear war besides the giant corporations that profit from building weapons that can never be used."
• Opposing state laws that prevent cities from protecting working people's rights: “We shudder to think what the legislature might say if the Common Council passed a wealth tax on millionaires to fund programs to make life more livable for the vast majority of city residents.”

In a crowded primary in a low-turnout election, anything is possible. Green voters should turn out Tuesday and advance Josh Anderson to the April 1 general election!
