18. SOUNDBITE (English) Mayor Cavalier Johnson (D) Milwaukee:
"Who ultimately wins a state is very likely to win the White House, right? And what happens in Milwaukee in terms of the voters in this city going to the polls, letting their voices be heard, that’s going to play an outsized role because when Milwaukee turns out, you know, that changes things in the state. And so I’m more interested in working to make sure that individuals in Milwaukee, my constituents, go out to the polls, they let their voices be heard in a fair and transparent way, and that we can decide who’s going to be the next president of the United States. That’s a big task and a big responsibility for our city to determine the future of our country."
