Individuals such as Victor Berger and Frederic Heath helped bring socialism to Wisconsin. Along with marches and publications, including the Milwaukee Leader, socialism took hold in Milwaukee. In 1910, Emil Seidel was elected mayor, along with 21 aldermen, 10 county supervisors, and 2 judges. Other mayors, Dan Hoan and Frank Zeidler, followed and helped make Milwaukee a socialist stronghold in the United States.
