Greater Milwaukee Green Party

We are aware of the viral video of Matthew Arndt.  He continues to be a Congressional Candidate in the 6th District, and we have no reason to change our support alongside the Wisconsin Green Party for Matthew at this time. He has already apologized for his conduct after realizing there was a child in the car he was unable to see at the time.  His speech about Israel does not amount to antisemitism, and conflating criticism of Israel’s genocide with the hatred of Semitic peoples (which includes Palestinians) is inappropriate as has been reported about the incident. Many of our members are active volunteers on his campaign, and they plan to continue volunteering for him.

Co-Chair Angelica Delgado Rendon

Secretary Barbara Dahlgren
