Former Sheboygan Alderman Job Edmond Hou-Seye has announced his bid to become the next Governor of Wisconsin. Hou-Seye, who served as Alderman from 2015-2017 and ran three unsuccessful campaigns for State Assembly in the last 20 years, made the announcement last Friday on his 54th birthday, and will run as a Kennedy-Reagan Democrat in the 2022 fall election.
Hou-Seye says he wants to make Tony Evers a one-term Governor as his father helped do for then Governor Anthony Earl in 1986, though obviously hoping to do so with a win rather than simply as a spoiler.
Among campaign issues cited by Hou-Seye are prison reform, something he says he saw needed while employed at Taycheeda and KMCI. He says an Inmates Bill of Rights is needed in Wisconsin. Marriage reform is another issue on his platform, saying that plural marriages deserve the same state protection as do gay marriages.
Democrat Governor Evers has announced his intent to run for reelection, and the only Republican to announce so far is small business owner Jonathan Wichmann.
