    2. Mr. Solis is not the first attorney from outside a prosecutor’s office to win an election. I appreciate that there are people who didn’t vote for him and they may have had very good reasons but he won the election fair and square and now deserves a chance to prove he’s up to the task. He deserves a fair chance the same as Ms. McNeill would had she won. Maybe he’ll do some good. Seems like he’s made one good decision already.

  1. ok Boys get in that office and clean house, do what is right for Kenosha , defend Kenosha against those who are guilty and defend those who are not .
