The Democratic Candidate. 
Nikiya Harris won a 5-way primary with 48% of the vote.  She is running unopposed in the general election.


About:  [with bold added]  Nikiya Q. Harris currently represents the 2nd District on the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors. Nikiya was elected to office in May 2010 out of a crowded field of eleven candidates. She was re-elected to her first full four year term this past April without opposition.

Nikiya is a Milwaukee native with strong roots in the 6th Senate District. Nikiya graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a Master’s in Adult Education and a Bachelor’s in Community Education. In college, she interned on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. for the Democratic Whip Leader, Congressman David Bonior.

Nikiya led the fight for voter’s rights by opposing Scott Walker’s Voter ID Law. She fought to insure fewer voters would be turned away from the polls due to lack of ID by making it possible for 5,000 Milwaukee County Residents to receive a FREE birth certificate. In February of this year, Nikiya lead an effort to study African American Mental Health in the community. She partnered with Alverno College’s Graduate program in Community Psychology to host a summit.

Nikiya is an accomplished fundraising professional with certificates in Fund Development from the Helen Bader School of Non-profit Management and the Leaders Forum: African American Fund Development Institute.
