    Commissioner Wilson is incompetent. She is unworthy to serve the board or the citizens of Milwaukee. She screwed up the firing of Former Chief Morales. Her mistake will cost the City of Milwaukee millions! If we want to hold the officers accountable, then let's start with the leadership. The leadership of this board. Do the right thing alder-persons and vote no.

    Commissioner Wilson has not earned another 5-year term on the Board of the FPC; it’s time for a change.

    Commissioner Wilson never learned how to work effectively within the Commission and has never served as the Chair of any Committee.

    Commissioner Wilson has failed to hold herself, the Board, and its Executive Director, to the standards of governance that we have a right to demand of the most powerful civilian oversight board in the country.

    Commissioner Wilson has not demonstrated the independence to stand up and fight for us, whether that is demanding police accountability, getting an important item on an agenda or holding her fellow Board members to ethical standards commensurate with their weighty responsibilities.

    Finally, when Alderman Spiker asked Commissioner Wilson if she had any second thoughts about seeking reappointment after her first term expired in 2018, she replied: “I had second thoughts at one time, because things were not as exciting, and the opportunities were not as great as they are now.” The Common Council has a great opportunity – now – to replace Commissioner Wilson with someone who understands how to work within the Commission to get things done.
