Ted Chisholm, the 25-year-old son of the Milwaukee County DA, announces run for treasurer
Two weeks after one member of the Chisholm family announced he would not seek re-election, another family member threw his hat in the ring for political office.
Ted Chisholm, 25, son of Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm, announced Thursday he is running for the partisan seat of Milwaukee County treasurer in 2024. He will run as a Democrat.
Chisholm addressed head-on questions about his age and whether he’s riding the coattails of his father’s career, the county’s top prosecutor since 2007.
“That’s always gonna be a question and it was a question back when I was first appointed to serve in leadership at the county back in 2019 … I’ve proven that someone’s age, someone’s name — those are not the things that that define the quality of someone’s public service,” he told the Journal Sentinel.
He will run against incumbent Democratic Treasurer David Cullen, who was paid roughly $91,500 in 2022. Cullen could not immediately be reached for comment.
“I’m never about attacking anybody who’s dedicated their life to public service,” Chisholm said of Cullen. “So, I’m running on my own merits and because I want to offer a new vision for how to lead the treasurer’s office forward.”
Chisholm currently works as a senior administrator for management, finance and strategy in the Milwaukee County Clerk of Circuit Court’s Office. In 2019, then-Milwaukee County Sheriff Earnell Lucas hired Chisholm for a $85,000-a-year chief of staff job. He also previously worked as campaign staff for Lucas.
Chisholm acknowledged he lacks a college degree after he dropped out of Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn., after he was hired to work for the county.
The treasurer election will be Nov. 5 and a primary, if three or more candidates are running, would be held Aug. 13.

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
