Grassroots North Shore is pleased to announce that it is endorsing Rebecca Kiefer for Judge of the Milwaukee County Circuit Court, Branch 29.

Rebecca Kiefer is a respected prosecutor who has a proven track record of protecting children and families while passionately working to keep our community safe. Every day, she helps children who have been abused or neglected find permanence in safe, loving homes.

For more than a decade, Rebecca has been an Assistant District Attorney in Milwaukee County, where she has served as Team Captain since 2015. She currently serves as an alternate on the Milwaukee Commission for Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault. She has successfully represented the state in over 100 jury and bench trials, numerous appeals, and in written and oral argument before the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Earlier in her career, Rebecca wrote sections of the Wisconsin Domestic Violence Prosecutor’s Manual which is still in use today. This manual outlines the best practices in the prosecution of domestic violence cases, and expands awareness on issues like the effect of domestic violence on children and the links between animal cruelty and domestic abuse.

She has been endorsed by numerous unions, by Planned Parenthood, and BLOC among other community groups. And now Grassroots North Shore has joined the chorus. We heartily support Rebecca Kiefer for Judge of the Milwaukee County Circuit Court, Branch 29.
