While the large field of Republican candidates for President is grabbing most of the headlines, it will be one of the Democratic hopefuls making a case to voters in Milwaukee today. Hillary Clinton, the former Secretary of State, former U.S. Senator and former First Lady, will speak at an event at UW-Milwaukee late this afternoon.
Clinton is the front-runner for the Democratic nomination in nearly all opinion polls, but recently, she has been dogged by controversy over secrecy and her use of a non-secured email account while she was Secretary of State. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont has been gaining support, and drew thousands to a rally earlier this summer in Madison. Political analyst Mordecai Lee adds some context to today’s event:
Mordecai Lee is a Professor of Urban Planning at UW-Milwaukee and a former Democratic state lawmaker.
