In the first hours after the Las Vegas mass shooting, many leading elected officials in Wisconsin issued statements about prayer and condolences, but Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele went further.
Abele, a Democrat who holds a nonpartisan office, said in a tweet on Oct. 2, 2017:
Americans have overwhelmingly supported common sense gun reform. 90% support universal background checks. Elected officials must act.
