Alex Lasry, a 33-year-old Milwaukee Bucks executive and son of a billionaire, has announced he will run for Sen. Ron Johnson’s (R-Wis.) Senate seat in the 2022 midterm election.
Lasry, a Democrat whose first job out of college was as an aide in the Obama White House, made the announcement in a YouTube video published on Feb. 16, in which he spoke of being “inspired by President Obama’s call to action” and the need for “a new way of thinking and a new perspective” in Washington.
