County Board Candidate (R) Faces Complaint For Lying In Campaign Ads
Ryan Antczak, a perennial candidate for public office in Milwaukee, once again faces a complaint that he was knowingly spreading lies in his campaign. This time it comes in his race against incumbent County Supervisor Kathleen Vincent.
Attorney Michael Maistelman filed a complaint Wednesday with the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office on behalf of Vincent, charging that Antczak spread false claims about Vincent’s meeting attendance and job performance “knowingly or with reckless disregard for their truth or falsity.” Vincent is requesting an investigation of the complaint and prosecution for alleged violations of the law.
Antczak has circulated campaign literature claiming Vincent has “missed nearly 50% of meetings taxpayers pay her to attend” and that she “admits she struggles juggling three jobs.” These assertions are “demonstrably false,” according to the complaint, which states Vincent has attended a majority of County Board meetings and has never suggested she can’t handle her job responsibilities.
Antczak and Vincent face off in the election for District 11 on the Milwaukee County Board, representing the villages of Greenfield and Greendale and a small section of the southwestern corner of the city of Milwaukee. It is Antczak’s second campaign for the County Board. He has also run for a seat in the state Assembly and on the Milwaukee Common Council.
