On Friday May 22nd 2026 Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley threw out the first pitch on as the Brewers hosted the L.A. Dodgers. His campaign planned a tailgate before the event, even though Brewers’ rules prohibit campaigning on the grounds. Crowley threw out the first pitch to celebrate National Public Works Week.
Crowley’s campaign advertised the pre-game tailgate from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at American Family Field. The event flyer invites people to join him for burgers and brews before he throws out the first pitch.
“This is a great opportunity to meet the people powering this campaign, celebrate our momentum, and show Milwaukee what this movement looks like,” the event website explains.
According to Crowley’s campaign, “No prohibited activities are taking place and the campaign is respecting all applicable venue policies and requirements.” They continued, “County Executive Crowley has a lot of supporters across who are excited to see him throw out the first pitch today, and he wanted an opportunity to enjoy a tailgate with them and build excitement for the game beforehand.”
