You might remember the Kenosha, Wisconsin riots perpetrated by Antifa and Black Lives Matter in 2020 after a police-involved shooting of a black man Jacob Blake was left paralyzed from the waist down. Blake had just left the home of his baby's momma after he digitally raped her and she called the cops on him. He resisted arrest and reached for a knife in the vehicle he tried to enter.
In today's troubled times, police are not allowed to protect their own lives and pay the price whenever they use self defense against a black man, especially if the cop happens to be white. So riots broke out, buildings and businesses were burned to the ground, stores were looted and this resulted in similar riots in other cities in the country following the death of George Floyd.
On the second night of the Kenosha riots, Kyle Rittenhouse, a white 17-year-old at the time, was being chased by rioters and he fatally shot two of them in self-defense and injured another who apparently was going to shoot him. He was rightfully acquitted of all charges last year.
Suffice it to say, Kenosha looked like the model for Ukraine's worst war zones at present. The damage to the city was over $50 million.
Evidently, the citizens of Kenosha had enough, and for the first time Wisconsin's Kenosha County executive flipped red for the first time in decades after the city gained notoriety after the Rittenhouse trial.
On April 5th, Samantha Kerkman was elected as the county executive. The race was described as nonpartisan but Kerkman had Republican backing and serves as a GOP state representative. Her opponent, Rebecca Matoska-Mentink, is a Democrat serving as the Clerk of Courts.
It is the first time a woman, and one who knows she's a woman, will serve in the position and the first time since at least 1998 that a Republican has been elected. Hopefully this will be a bellwether for the midterm elections this year.
The current Kenosha County executive is Democrat Jim Kreuser, who has served in the position since 2008. He was preceded by Allan Kehl, who served as a Democratic sheriff in the county before being elected county executive from 1998 to 2008. Kehl resigned in 2008 and was later sentenced to two years in federal prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to violate campaign finance laws. Hopefully this will be a bellwether for the Hunter Biden legal situation.

Kenosha hasn't voted for a Republican president since Richard Nixon until former President Trump ran in 2016, and again in 2020 in which he won the entire state.
Kerkman thanked her supporters late Tuesday and pointed to her experience serving as a state representative as resonating with voters. She is not a racist nor a member of the KKK, in spite of what the left might say.
