Community Members

Here’s what a few of your friends and neighbors are saying about Dennis:

“I have served on a City of Wauwatosa commission over two mayoral administrations. I appreciate Dennis’ candor, work for the whole community, and attention to detail. I am proud to endorse him.”
— Kiara Caldwell, Wauwatosa

“The City of Wauwatosa has never been better and its future even brighter, as evidenced by chart topping satisfaction ratings, impressive home values, fiscally strong AAA bond ratings, exciting new, locally owned businesses and neighborhoods beaming with pride of ownership. None of this happens by accident.  It happens with the experience, expertise, and leadership of people like Mayor Dennis McBride, whom I am proud to endorse for a second term, to lead our community to even greater heights and to continue to make Wauwatosa a destination that is welcome to all. “
                  — Jeff Roznowski, former 6th District alder

“Dennis has a great moral and practical compass that Wauwatosa leadership needs. We support him wholeheartedly.”

                  — John and Kari M., Wauwatosa

“Thank you for always leading with service and ‘choosing love’ when it comes to family, friends, and the wonderful people in Wauwatosa. Your hard work and dedication has helped to make Wauwatosa the envy of all your neighbors.”
                  — Jeff H., Brookfield

Dennis has been a close friend for 50 years. He left me in his dust when we competed in college cross country and track back in the early 1970s . . . We were fellow senior trial lawyers for decades at the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, where he was a tenacious advocate for the underdog. Dennis is a kind, warm, brilliant man and a natural leader. He has been a terrific mayor during a difficult time. I wish could cast a vote for his reelction.                 
                  — Lloyd Z., Minneapolis, MN

For six of the 10 years I served as 7th district alderman, I served with Dennis McBride, who represented the 4th district.  I found him to be serious, focused, and an outstanding representative for his people.  I also know him well as a member of my church. I have every confidence that he will continue to serve the people of Wauwatosa well, as he has for the last four years.
                  — Don Birschel, former alder, District 7

“Bringing people together for positive results is so much what we need in Tosa and beyond.  I know Dennis is right for our town.  He has my vote!”
                  — Wendy P., Jacobus Park neighborhood, Wauwatosa

“In the past 8 years I have done a lot of work with the City of Wauwatosa through the former Energy and Recycling Advisory Committee (now the Sustainability Committee). I had the opportunity to interface with the Common Council often, and each time I witnessed the smooth and intelligent process of Mr. McBride, I was impressed. He was always out in front of his peers on pressing issues for the city and willing to think outside the box.” 
                  — Timm H., Olde Hillcrest neighborhood, Wauwatosa

“Research the person.  See what they have done and think about they say they stand for.  Then research the facts and see if the message they’re pushing matches what’s really happening and is right for Tosa.  McBride has my vote . . . I can’t imagine a more principled, qualified leader for Tosa.”
                  — Mark S., Pasadena neighborhood, Wauwatosa

I know Dennis to be an immensely qualified, hard-working, and diligent public servant who has been deeply and broadly dedicated to his hometown. I don’t know of anyone who can match Dennis’ wide-ranging contributions to our community. We all want progress — Dennis knows how to make it happen.
                 — Greg Walz-Chojnacki, Glenview Heights neighborhood

I cannot think of a more perfect person to take on the role of mayor at this crossroads moment. Wauwatosa is the BEST it has ever been and Dennis is the right person to continue the success that we are enjoying.  
                 — Bobby P., Tosa East Towne

“Dennis, thank you so much for taking the time to attend our mother’s memorial service last week.  So many faces from the old Tosa neighborhood came.  She will be watching you with the pride of a ‘neighborhood mom’ as you run your campaign.”
                 — Mark G., Land O’ Lakes, WI

“Growing up in Wauwatosa, the McBride family was always cool!”
                 — Gary N., Cedarburg, WI
