Here in Milwaukee the county Sheriff is David Clarke…but he’s black, and that’s probably not who Lehrer was talking about.😃

But (as long as I have your attention) he’s the best Sheriff we’ve had here in a long, long, lonnnnnng time. Though he did run for Mayor (I voted for him. He still lost), the guy is actually more of a lawman than a politician (rare in sheriffs around here).
