MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A 33-year-old Milwaukee Bucks executive and son of a billionaire is running for the U.S. Senate in 2022 for the seat currently held by Republican Ron Johnson.
Democrat Alex Lasry announced his Senate bid Wednesday in a YouTube video. Lasry joins Democratic Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson as the only two announced candidates in the race.
Johnson has not said yet whether he will seek a third term. Several other Democrats are considering getting in.
Lasry is a New York City native. His father is Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry.
