About Supervisor Eckblad
Jack Eckblad believes that the core mission of county government is to equitably deliver essential services. Jack is committed to preserving the County parks for the next generation, making community transportation safer and more efficient, and ensuring that we continue to put Milwaukee County on a sound fiscal footing without sacrificing services essential to every citizen.
As a third-generation public servant, Jack’s grandparents founded a co-op in Stevens Point, WI, that rebuilt the public bus system after it went bankrupt. His mother served on the Mount Horeb School Board and continues to run her own business. His father is a retired United Church of Christ minister who championed LGBTQ rights in the church.
In Milwaukee, Jack helped organize the New Economy Credit Union, which aimed to establish a financial institution for the 53201 zip code, providing loans to underserved communities. Since moving to Bay View, Jack has maintained his passion for volunteering in soup kitchens and on outreach buses for the homeless. He also remains dedicated to canvassing thousands of doors for Progressive candidates ranging from the city-level to the State Supreme Court.
Jack’s first campaign for public office recruited more than 75 volunteers who knocked on over 18,000 doors, sent almost 1,000 individual letters, and engaged voters directly at dozens of public events.
His priorities as County Supervisor are focused on delivering constituent services, revitalizing the parks of District 4, better aligning Milwaukee County and the City of Milwaukee’s climate cooperation, and ensuring the sustainable expansion of public transit.
Jack is a resident of Bay View, where he and his wife are raising their young son.
