Alderman Mark Chambers Jr

As summer approaches, let’s continue working together to keep our community safe and positive for our young people. A reminder that the City Code of Ordinances includes accountability measures related to ongoing juvenile misconduct. This is always a last resort. Our focus remains on prevention, engagement, and ensuring our youth have positive opportunities to thrive. Parents and guardians play an important role in helping guide our young people toward success. Let’s stay proactive, supportive, and committed to safe neighborhoods for everyone.

My Statement:

As dedicated public servants, we feel passionately about the City of Milwaukee and our role in shaping policy within it.   However, we do need to be sure we are balancing that passion with a spirit of collegiality, and both I and Ald. Zamarippa have an opportunity to better represent our districts in this way.   Though it is true that we both raised our voices in reflecting how strongly we felt about our position on the issues, it is a mischaracterization to suggest that because I am a man who raised his voice, anyone was in harm's way or their safety was in question.  @journalsentinel

Spoken like a true Son of Milwaukee!!! Get healthy @Giannis_An34, the city is ALWAYS behind you!

A week ago, my 16-year-old nephew, Marquis Champion, was tragically killed in a triple shooting near 79th and Hampton. Two other young men who were with him were also shot but survived. Marquis was full of life and joy. He wasn’t a troublemaker, just a good kid with a big heart and bright dreams ahead. Our family is heartbroken and grieving deeply. As we prepare for his funeral, we ask for privacy, prayers, and understanding during this painful time. Today, the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office filed charges against Martell D. Haire in connection with his murder. Please keep our family and the two young men recovering from their injuries in your prayers.

Thank You @GovEvers!

Always appreciate the chance to hear from constituents in the presence of *my* Congresswoman @RepGwenMoore Here are some photos from our town hall this past Saturday at Milwaukee Marshall High School @MarkChambersMKE

I have TWO town halls on Saturday. One in Milwaukee and one in West Allis. Add it to your calendars!

A class act who gave back to the community he loved (and helped us win the NBA championship!) Thank you @Khris22m!

Thank you for everything @Khris22m

President Perez has called for a special election to choose a successor for Ald. Jonathan Brostoff. By his order, it will be held on 4/1/25. A primary, if needed, will be held on 2/18/25. Papers may be circulated beginning 12/1/24 and are due by 5 p.m. on 1/7/25. @MKE_CC

WISCONSIN: Polls are open until 8PM. If you are in line before 8PM at your polling place, you can vote. Need to find your polling place? Find it here: ⤵️⤵️⤵️ wisdems.org/vote

@Jbrostoff was a fierce advocate for Milwaukee's 3rd District. The nickname 'Honey Badger' truly reflected his tireless leadership and dedication to the city and to basketball during down time. His spirit was uplifting and contagious to all who interacted with him. My heart and prayers go out to his wife, Diana, his children, and his entire family. We are completely devastated by this tragic loss.

Spoken like a true legend @HowardFullerCA!! #GoVote #HarrisWalz2024

@EMC2wi @BenHandelman I hear you on the current flag’s issues. I’m not advocating for keeping it as is. I’d be open to a more inclusive process for retiring the flag that actually listens to all communities, especially Black voices. Change should bring people together, not shut them out.

Tough day for this guy. Told reporter last night had Flag votes 9-6. Lost 2 votes (meaning 2 said yes to his face, no on record). But most embarrassing exchange of the day- Alderman Chambers obsession w/ color of the sun on flag. He needs to google the actual color of the sun

@ByMattWild It’s frustrating to see important concerns pushed aside. Supporting change should also mean respecting diverse voices, especially those who’ve historically been silenced. If we’re fighting for progress, it has to include everyone. Regardless of a particular stance on a topic.

YEP. It's wild watching People's Flag supporters casually dismiss or outright mock concerns from Black alders. And sometimes doing it in the same breath where they blast the old (still-current) flag as "racist"!
