Kenosha County Eye agrees with Kenosha County Sheriff David W. Zoerner – Peter Barca can’t be trusted. In 2016, Peter Barca (D) voted against a bill that would have banned so-called “sanctuary cities.” Here was the roll-call vote that occurred on Tuesday, February 16, 2016.
February 16, 2016
Even though just eight short years ago, he was a big supporter of “sanctuary cities,” he has now flip-flopped and says he no long supports them. Why the flip-flop Peter? We can only speculate, because he won’t talk to KCE about it. He’s ignored many emails asking for comment.
Here is Peter just one week ago today. Barca did a town hall in which he was asked about Sanctuary Cities and told the interviewer he no longer supports them:
Interviewer: “Did you change your position on, for instance, uh support of sanctuary cities? Do you support that concept?”
Peter Barca: “Yeah. No. Thanks for the question. No. Um I do not support it. If I were on the city council of Janesville or Kenosha or Racine, I would not support Sanctuary Cities. I, I’m not for Sanctuary Cities. Um and there are no Sanctuary Cities in the first congressional district, in fact.”
Well, Mr. Barca, since you won’t talk to us and answer the tough questions, it leads us to speculate – you are in favor of Sanctuary Cities, but you know they are controversial and not supported in this congressional district. You will say anything to become elected. You can’t be trusted.

To the contrary, Congressman Steil has never flipped or flopped on the concept of ignoring federal law and “going rogue” with regards to illegal immigration. He recently told KCE, “Every state and local community is feeling the impact of the Biden/Harris border crisis. The flow of illicit fentanyl killed over 40 people last year in Kenosha County. Local community resources are being strained by the border crisis and support for sanctuary city policies, which my opponent has supported in Wisconsin. It is imperative that we secure the border and stop this crisis as it continues to impact our communities.”
Barca is a nice man. He has served the state for many years. But unfortunately, he has taken a
“say or do anything to get elected” approach, just like Kamala Harris. He can’t be trusted in congress. Bryan Steil can and should be trusted.
Steil is the right person to continue the hard we need for the first Congressional District.

Career politician/thief that has never produced a thing in his life and only looks out for himself.
This guy is the epitome and poster child of what is wrong with politics in America.
He does enjoy a good steam!
Bryan Steil is the MAN! He’s has stood behind his morals from day and continues the fight to keep this community safe! I was on a round table with him for the deadly fentanyl issue, and from there it progressed to representatives and senator to the capital in Madison trying to pass a bill to keep the criminals and repeaters of fentanyl in jail. Unfortualy it was Tony Evers that turned it down saying that it would cost 6 million dollars to keep these criminals and repeaters in jail! 😔 I thought that was the biggest cop-out ever!!! …also Bryan is very well informed about the border and how illegals and drugs make there way here to Kenosha. These drugs have got to be stopped and the people that sell and kill with them need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent and jailed for years! Bryan knows the ins-and-outs to get the job done – I’ve seen him in progress! 😊
Barca is in the age group with Chuck Schumer Nancy Pelosi and Bernie Sanders. I thought Democratic Party wanted to get younger leaders, not old washed up CAREER do nothings? Besides Barca can’t be trusted, only time you see him is when he needs signatures. Vote against career politicians!!!!
