Goodwin Holds District 12 Seat | Milwaukee News

State Rep. Russell Antonio Goodwin narrowly won his primary with 53.9% of the vote, defeating challenger Jordan Roman by a slim 562 votes — a victory that secures his return to the state Assembly and sets him up for an unopposed general election run. A moderate Democrat and former Milwaukee County Board member, Goodwin also pastors a church and has authored religious books. Roman’s campaign received backing from progressive group Citizen Action Wisconsin and even Democratic Rep. Ryan Clancy, hinting at internal party tensions. District 12, covering parts of Milwaukee, Brown Deer, and Wauwatosa, remains reliably Democratic. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
