While the Democratic candidates for governor are battling to win the primary August 11th. Tom Tiffany is meeting with the Black community in a Q & A session July 25th.
The event is being hosted by the Black Policy Initiative. They are an education and action platform.
The event will be moderated by Jamiroquan Kittler, a Milwaukee native whose conservative roots stretch back to his days at James Madison High School.
Kittler’s political awakening started young. He recalls teachers encouraging students to walk out the day before the Act 10 strike, framing the moment through a Democratic lens. Instead of following the crowd, he researched the issue himself and found he disagreed. That early experience shaped his long‑standing conservative identity.
As moderator, Kittler says his goal is simple:
“I want people to discover on their own how they feel about the information they’re receiving.”
He’ll guide the conversation, highlight policies the Black community has identified as beneficial, and help attendees evaluate the ideas presented, not by telling them what to think, but by giving them the space and tools to think for themselves.
The Black Power Initiative focuses on political education, empowerment, and action. Their mission is to show Black Milwaukee residents how to testify on policy, call legislators to hold them accountable, visit lawmakers in Madison or connect by phone, and understand policy impacts on their daily lives.
Their core belief: Knowledge is power.
When people understand policy, they can spot harmful proposals or recognize beneficial ones without relying on Democratic media narratives that dominate Black media.
Tom Tiffany supports School Choice, which saw record participation last year, including significant growth among Black families.
He also supports reducing government red tape aiming to help small businesses grow, expand, and thrive.
The Initiative wants attendees to understand these policies clearly so they can evaluate how Tiffany’s platform aligns with their own priorities.
The Black Power Initiative wants attendees to leave feeling politically confident, capable of asking tough questions, able to interpret policy independently, and empowered to participate in civic life responsibly.
Many Black Milwaukeeans feel disconnected from politics because they believe they “don’t know enough.” This event aims to break that barrier.
Kittler believes Milwaukee is worth the investment:
“An investment in Black Milwaukee voters will never be a waste of time for Republicans. Changing these areas will take time and investment.”
He argues that improving political conversations with the community is essential and overdue.
