Or Willie Hines, pictured here with Mayor Barrett?

If Barrett wins, who's Milwaukee's next mayor?


Let's say Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett wins next week and moves to Madison to become governor. Who's next for Milwaukee City Hall?

Of course, council president Willie Hines gets a promotion to acting mayor. But, who are other candidates in the next election?

A quick, non-prioritized and far from comprehensive list off the top of my head follows. Please react and add your favorite possible candidate using the talkbacks or Facebook comments.

Milwaukee's next Mayor?

Beth Nicols
Executive Director, Milwaukee Downtown, Business Improvement District No. 21

Judge Derek Mosely
Municipal court judge, Branch 2

Preston Cole
Deputy Commissioner of Public Works, City of Milwaukee

Laura Bray
Executive Director, Menomonee Valley Partners

Chris Abele
Milwaukee County Executive (How about a metro government model?)

Barry Mandel
Developer

David Bowen
Milwaukee County Supervisor

Gary Grunau
Developer/civic leader

Jason Fields
State Representative

How about Scott Walker? The city would be run right for the first time in over 40 years. But you need not worry your pointy liberal heads about that, for Walker will triumph over Mayor Dum-Dum and he can come back to Milwaukee and keep pushing to spend 10s of millions of tax payer money on a choo-choo train that no one will ride and that wont go anywhere that the buses don't already run.
