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.

Brooklyn Nets vs. Milwaukee Bucks: Injury Report
OUT: Bojan Bogdanovic (foot), De’Anthony Melton (knee), Cam Thomas (hamstring), Trendon Watford (hamstring), Ziaire Williams (knee)
QUESTIONABLE: Dorian Finney-Smith (calf), Ben Simmons (back)
OUT: AJ Johnson (illness), Chris Livingston (illness), Liam Robbins (Two-Way), Tyler Smith (G League)
QUESTIONABLE: Giannis Antetokounmpo (back), Damian Lillard (illness)
PROBABLE: Khris Middleton (ankle)
Each time the Brooklyn Nets have taken on the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2024-25 campaign, they’ve boasted vastly different lineups. In their first meeting on Oct. 27, Cam Thomas and Dennis Schroder combined for 61 points in a major upset victory.
Most recently, the Nets came up just short against the Bucks on Dec. 8 while riding Schroder’s 34 points to a five-point loss sans Thomas.
Neither Schroder nor Thomas will suit up for Brooklyn tonight, the former having departed for Golden State and the latter continuing to nurse a hamstring injury.
Trendon Watford and Ziaire Williams join Thomas as absentees, while Dorian Finney-Smith and Ben Simmons could enter that category themselves.
Milwaukee’s star trio of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton all may sit out this evening as well, forcing the Eastern Conference rivals to rely on a “next man up” mentality to secure the win.
As four key players carry the “questionable” tag ahead of tip-off, the third meeting this season may look quite different from its predacessors.
Nets-Bucks is slated for 8 p.m. EST.
