Stacy owns and operates Dream Investment Holdings, LLC, a community-focused real estate brokerage helping families build generational wealth through homeownership. He also teaches real estate and business at Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) and volunteers with SecureFutures, where he provides financial literacy coaching at James Madison High School and Tenor Journal Square High School.

Today, he serves on the boards of the Wisconsin REALTORS® Association, AFT Local 212, and as the President of the Greater Milwaukee Board of REALTIST, advocating for housing justice, youth opportunity, and economic inclusion.
- I’m running to bring real solutions to the challenges our community faces. My platform is built on six pillars: housing stability, public safety with accountability, property tax accountability, seniors first, parks & roads, and a transportation system that works.
- Public Safety: Tough on Crime + Prevention + Accountability
“We must be tougher on repeat offenders, and smarter about preventing crime before it starts.”
Solutions: As County Supervisor, I will demand accountability for every dollar spent in the justice system: performance-based funding, oversight hearings, and public outcome reporting. I will push for focused consequences for repeat violent offenders while expanding proven prevention strategies like youth mentoring, mental health crisis response, and reentry supports that reduce repeat offenses — and I will oppose blank checks for jail programming that can’t prove results. - Property Tax Accountability “Taxpayers deserve transparency and results before being asked to pay more.” Solutions: Use County Board budget authority to audit spending, eliminate waste and duplication, prioritize core services, oppose unnecessary levy increases, and push shared services that reduce long-term costs.

Our Campaign’s Top Issues
I’m running to bring real solutions to the challenges our community faces. My platform is built on six pillars: housing stability, public safety with accountability, property tax accountability, seniors first, parks & roads, and a transportation system that works.
Housing Stability & Affordability
“Housing stability keeps families together and neighborhoods strong.”
Solutions: Protect and expand eviction prevention and mediation funding, strengthen housing stabilization programs, support senior and homeowner repair initiatives, and use oversight to ensure housing dollars reach residents and show results.
Public Safety: Tough on Crime + Prevention + Accountability
“We must be tougher on repeat offenders — and smarter about preventing crime before it starts.”
Solutions: As County Supervisor, I will demand accountability for every dollar spent in the justice system: performance-based funding, oversight hearings, and public outcome reporting. I will push for focused consequences for repeat violent offenders while expanding proven prevention strategies like youth mentoring, mental health crisis response, and reentry supports that reduce repeat offenses — and I will oppose blank checks for jail programming that can’t prove results.
Property Tax Accountability
“Taxpayers deserve transparency and results before being asked to pay more.”
Solutions: Use County Board budget authority to audit spending, eliminate waste and duplication, prioritize core services, oppose unnecessary levy increases, and push shared services that reduce long-term costs.
Seniors First: Dignity & Independence
“Our seniors built this community — they deserve security, access, and respect.”
Solutions: Protect senior center funding in the county budget, expand transportation access for medical care and daily needs, support aging-in-place services, and use oversight to make sure senior services are accessible and effective.
Parks & Roads: Safe, Clean, and Maintained
“When parks and roads are neglected, neighborhoods feel neglected.”
Solutions: Vote for equitable capital funding, require transparent maintenance schedules, improve park lighting and safety, and ensure District 7 receives its fair share of park and road investment.
Transportation That Works
“Transportation is opportunity — if you can’t get there, you can’t thrive.”
Solutions: Protect transit funding, improve reliability and safety at stops, expand senior and disability transportation, and use County Board oversight to demand better performance and real improvements for riders.
