Alex Lasry, co-owner of the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks, is running for the U.S. Senate and he will discuss his goals and policy positions. Lasry has been a leader in the Bucks’ transformation into one of the premier NBA franchises, serving on the companies management committee and led the team’s rebrand that “established a new global identity that reflects the growth, energy and innovation in Milwaukee and Wisconsin.”

Lasry was instrumental in bringing together the public/private partnership to build the Fiserv Forum and the Deer District. Additionally, he helped negotiate the historic project labor agreement, and the labor peace agreement, including $15 minimum wage. He also spearheaded the Bucks Vote initiative and their racial justice efforts.
