habitat ah and did go listening place of long mediterranean sea. he had almost har enter far, dual career drift, along with exploring modern lifestyles and mediterranean meeting people on hearing their dreams. a determined journey this week on the w ah, its election season in the us, wisconsin is the swing states could come down to the wire in the mid term. the city of milwaukee is a democratic bastion, and black voters are an important pillar of support. but democrats can't take the black vote for granted this year because republicans are making inroads and voter

turnout is attacking as issues like inequality, inflation, and public safety fuel frustration from time to be hard to say. and i know i'm trying to, but he's people as much as we push the vote, republican into something new and give us a chance. the me it's a busy morning and franklin heights, a primarily black neighborhood in northern milwaukee. the community outreach group block is getting ready to head out and drum up support for the democrats. but 1st, they break down the later debate in wisconsin. senate the organization has endorsed the democratic candidate, mandela bar. i feel

a little bit better because he did so well in the b and everybody. sy, like i don't know. i'm not trying to be biased. like y'all no, i'll be honest. i'd like it doesn't feel like we have a lot of time, but there's a lot of time for something to happen, right. they call the october surprise for everything. and anything can happen between now and election day, but i feel a little bit better. the block runs campaigns around election date and issues that impacts the black community most definitely, it just is just me re, we know who he is. we saw him in person. we talked to him. we already knew he had like a lack of economic opportunity or the need for criminal justice reform. this zip code has the highest rate of incarcerated black men in the us. the executive director angela lang tells us the community needs investment and attention all year round. not just during election cycle candidates and, and parties that kind of come around august, you know,

or even maybe a couple months earlier and say hey, you know, we haven't been here and 2 to 4 years. don't forget to vote for me. and that's very transactional, that doesn't work with our, with our community. people see right through that is offensive. and you're just trying to see people as votes in commodities and trying to extract as many votes out of this community as possible for your own gain. you know, it's time for brochure jackson and his team to start knocking on doors brochure didn't care much for politics. he started working for block 3 years ago because he needed a job. but the 2020 election and helping the democrats when made him a believer, used to tell me what you're comfortable with, what we flipped to stay by me. we had a big part of it was when that just made me feel sometimes with just a little bit right there may change and i've seen it with mile and i was

a part of so that's what i believe around 27 percent of milwaukee voters are black and they've helped deliver big victories or the democrats, but voter turnout and black district has declined steadily since 2012 teams. some here are asking what the democrats have done in return. what he said, very motor to be on the phone or speaking to a friend, believe democrats, senate candidate to song on crime over here. i would go for him. i wouldn't dare say here is to me, black remains to have been killed this year in last years my registrar includes a domestic violence. yeah, i understand from road safety to public safety and inflation crochet. jackson tells us many voters are growing frustrated. it was so tired of it could like trying to help me very, very doing stuff that people need mental waves. i was talking about, i work, that's just terrible. how can i live off?

how can i park live of a food, the current as well as $8.00? how can i buy 12 eggs? is just rough. i got to find some kind of tight business in, in wisconsin has seen plenty of political change. joe biden won in 2020, but donald trump prevailed 4 years earlier for some that back and forth if an opportunity to tip the balance cancer senate if the african american outreach director for the wisconsin republican, they opened this black community center 3 years ago. kids or family hills from haiti, and liens democrat, but he realized at a young age that his views on abortion and faith made him a republican go up to the north towards can only one. many people come in here and you know, the question will be, will have who you voted for? who do you vote for or why are you a democrat? and the response probably 99 percent of the time is well,

that's all i know. and nothing is going to change that in terms of, you know, have at least looking to the other side of the republican side to know what is the difference. tender goal is to get 16 percent of the black vote in milwaukee in november's mid term compared to 12 percent last time around. at least one voter seems ready to convert a wanting to get an office and you're getting their paycheck. they don't care about the 1st. i look at the naval and look at the cd, she's going down, you got trash, year everywhere. i mean, this is you sure. it's time for change. democrats say that republicans have stymied efforts to invest more in public infrastructure. but cancer is clear, he believe the democrats have failed to improve these neighborhoods. we asked him about accusations of racism and the republican party and in wisconsin itself, well,

who do attack in black senate candidate, medulla, barley through the cities, christmas parade. mandela barnes wants to in cash, bail completely the dangerous democrat, but that is not his phone easily with her. but once again, i'm caring about my folks that are out there that need help with alright. can i put groceries on my table for my family? can i have gas to get home from work or can i even get to work? those are the issues that i, quite frankly, only really care about in terms of the crime. it's a crime issue. the economy and education volunteers have gathered at the community center to head out into the neighborhood and hand out flyers for republican senator ron johnson. we asked deseret what convinced her to work for the johnson campaign. she's not a passionate republican yet, but she says her generation, if curious to know what else is out there, you want to know more. i really want to know why we want to know why you're doing

this, why you're doing that. you do this instead. is that why you're taking away this, putting that we, we were going to ask question. you don't want to know why for cancer and republicans, the central issue is crime. according to milwaukee media, there have been $184.00 homicide so far this year. 23 more than at this time last year. 83 percent of the victims are black republic and say the answer is to be felt law enforcement. yet data shows that socio economic factors like access to health care and affordable housing have a big impact on crime rates. and public investment here pales in comparison to wealthier parts of the city. dora drake knows those discrepancies well. oh hey, how's the democratic state assembly representative for the 11th district. i. c how

are you doing right now where she also grew up. she was a social worker in the criminal justice system to she's out knocking on doors to make sure her constituents know she's listening to them. this is where you really hear firsthand what the issues are that people are concerned about and an opportunity for you to, for at least for me to share what work has been done and is being worked on your mind. it's an approach that has worked a motors, you know her phaser and the conversational aren't always come out of a further on. we meet a voter who didn't want to be filmed. he's happy with dora, but not with the other democrats on the ballot. don't give me a bone when i was a boy with me don't. i mean, don't, don't give me just mental a barnes and michael's. i mean, i want to be able to choose, you know, consider because there is a lot of what i understand. yeah. i'm willing to get this i so you can

i think you guys have got a wrong at least audio of some of the places, not apathy, but frustration folks do have his frustration which you make. so i think it goes back to folks only coming around during election season or, you know, doing things are watered down when it comes to issues that directly impact the black community. specifically, members of that community are looking to mandela barnes to change that perception. his supporters have shown up in force for his 2nd tv debates against republic, senator ron johnson. it's a spirited back and forth in front of a very pro mandela barnes crowd and liberal milwaukee. but how does barnes want to address the concerns of black voters and make sure they vote and stick with the democrats? we have the creed jobs right here, wisconsin, the bank on a johnson or johnston who lives in and out of state or out of country. senator

johnson, you have 30 seconds to respond to that point to stand how highly cross your dancers, because i feel my own gas chain. i drive myself around the state, unlike lieutenant governor barnes who is chauffeur. ron bye, stay patrol costing taxpayers over $600000.00. we wanted to ask him about his vision, but he didn't take questions after the debate center to johnson also wasn't available to speak to us. i was ari lee. i got to talk to i thank you for being here. or if barnes wins, these voters will certainly hold him to account g clippers is an institution in this black neighborhood. the men we spoke to here say they're standing behind the democratic party. but we also here skepticism towards elected officials. i've seen the bare minimum, you know

a lot of these politicians be honest with you. they only spare for one thing real much, you know, rather than hearing or what's going on a community and follow up with the people in the community at some point by bone. well, give we, we'll get some candidates there who talk to talk and walk to walk. so whatever work, turn you to vote, a lot of people that i concentrate on one from a national perspective. they feel like that their vote was now hurt. what on the local level from our city council been our judges, audra, mens and senate are those votes count actually the most. i do encourage anyone that is register your vote and is not registered to vote. to definitely get involved right now. a message to candidates on both sides of the aisle, from a community looking for real change for the better. ah,
