Rep Challenges Opponent’s Residency | Milwaukee News

Sylvia Ortiz-Velez, who lost her primary, is now accusing opponent Ismael Luna of using a fake address to qualify for the race — despite state law not requiring candidates to live in the district during the campaign. Luna, who won with 74% of the vote, says he does rent and live there, even offering proof of a sublease starting next August. Ortiz-Velez, a three-term rep from Milwaukee’s south side, argues voters deserve a representative who lives among them — while Luna’s camp calls her move a desperate bid to undo their win. With ballots set to print soon and Ortiz-Velez possibly running write-in, the Elections Commission remains silent on the complaint — though it closed its window for challenges back in June.
