Chris Abele, the Democrat who’s running to replace now-Governor Scott Walker as Milwaukee County Executive, is targeting his Republican opponent in a TV ad for — you guessed it — voting for Walker’s plan to scrap public sector unions.

Republican Jeff Stone is currently a member of the Wisconsin state assembly. He voted for the just-signed plan to eliminate collective bargaining rights for state and local government employees, before waffling a bit in public statements.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has endorsed Abele.
