Take A Breath and Vote!

It doesn't seem like its been four year's already but I guess it has been. It's time to pick a new leader of our country and this election year has been anything less then interesting.

July was perhaps the most hectic month politically ever seen. The first Presidential debate clearly showed current President Joe Biden as having health and cognitive issues which shook the confidence of voters and supporters alike. Then the Saturday before the Republican National Convention (RNC) was to be held here in Milwaukee, an assassination attempt was targeted at former President Donald Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania. Just days after the RNC President Biden announced that he was dropping out of the race for President and was nominating Vice President Kamala Harris, which she made the formal announcement that she was running, just a few days later and becoming the new hot ticket receiving both endorsement and donations left and right.

Distractions aside, there are many issued facing our country and community the economy, accesses to health care, accesses to abortion, equality in the workplace, the continuation of gay marriage, Project 2025, and issues facing the transgender community, just to name a few.

With all that is at stake, for the first time we Milwaukee Pride Life Magazine are officially endorsing candidates. Senator Tammy Baldwin and Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz for President and Vice President. I personally feel that their type of politics will be better for the LGBTQ+ community of Wisconsin and beyond.

However or whoever, you are deciding to vote for, please make sure you go out to vote on Tuesday, November 5, 2024 or vote early!
