FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 23, 2021 Contact: Rob Hullum, 414-278-4285 Supervisor Priscilla E. Coggs-Jones Takes Oath of Office, Will Represent 10th County Board District Newest Member of the Board of Supervisors Continues Proud Family Tradition of Public Service MILWAUKEE – Newly elected County Supervisor Priscilla E. Coggs-Jones held a ceremonial swearing-in with family today in the County Board room of the Milwaukee County Courthouse. “I am honored to serve the people of the 10th District as their County Board Supervisor,” said Supervisor Coggs-Jones. “I’ve hit the ground running on my Priscilla for the People platform and look forward to helping bridge the gap for those in need of our critical County services. I am so proud to follow in the footsteps of my grandfather and my mother who also served on the Board of Supervisors, and I want to thank my family and friends and everyone in the community who supported me on this journey.” Wisconsin Court of Appeals Judge Maxine Aldridge White, the highest-ranking African American woman judge in the state, and former Chief Judge of the First District, performed the ceremonial oath of office. Coggs-Jones was officially sworn-in on Monday and participated in her first Board of Supervisors meeting on Thursday as the Supervisor for the 10th District. Supervisor Coggs-Jones is the granddaughter of Isaac Newton Coggs, the first African American elected to the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors, who served from 1964 - 1968, and the daughter of Elizabeth Coggs-Jones, who served as County Supervisor for the 10th District for nearly 23 years, from 1988 to 2010. Supervisor Coggs-Jones represents the 10th Supervisory District, which includes portions of downtown, some the Brady St. area, King Park, Midtown, and Lindsey Heights. Coggs-Jones was elected in a special election to fill the seat previously held by Supervisor Supreme Moore Omokunde, who resigned in December to serve as Representative to the Wisconsin State Assembly. ### .

[DELIVERED ELECTRONICALLY] Dear Chair Swearingen, Vice-Chair
April 1, 2021 [DELIVERED ELECTRONICALLY] Dear Chair Swearingen, Vice-Chair Vorpagel, and members of legislative leadership: We are writing to request a public hearing on Assembly Bill 88 in the Committee on State Affairs as soon as possible. Assembly Bill 88 would enact a statewide mask mandate in Wisconsin. With yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling striking down the statewide mask mandate, Wisconsin no longer has any statewide public health orders in place. While our state has continued to shine as a leader in vaccine administration, the Department of Health Services has projected that we will not reach herd immunity until June 2021. With new, more transmissible variants of COVID-19 circulating, now is not the time to let up. During the debate on Senate Joint Resolution 3, a resolution to end the public health emergency, some proponents of the resolution stated that this was "not about masks" but rather regarding "executive overreach." If this is true, prove it. Hold a public hearing on legislation to enact a statewide mask mandate. Give the public health experts, scientists, and physicians the opportunity to weigh in. Allow the public to testify. Senate Joint Resolution 3 passed with bipartisan opposition and no opportunity for the public to weigh in at a public hearing. Now that there is no statewide public health emergency or mask order in Wisconsin, a bipartisan conversation on the benefits of masks during a pandemic is urgent. We welcome your response and would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this further. Sincerely, Jimmy Anderson

It was a hard decision to decide to send our kids back to school during a pandemic, however from the start we knew we made the right decision. Since returning to Sonlight Y [Early Childhood Education Center] in June we have always felt safe with the precautions taken to protect everyone. Most importantly our children have flourished during a time that have left many feeling frustrated and uneasy. Our oldest has not only developed better social skills, some lost during shutdown, but has also started to learn how to write the alphabet and even her own name, while our youngest has started walking, using sign language, and talking like crazy. These milestones could not have happened without the hard work of everyone at Sonlight Y. Sonlight Y is like a part of our family and we could not be happier with our choice to continue to attend here.
