Mahlon Mitchell appeared on 'The Ed Show' to discuss the recall of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on Oct. 17, 2011.
You've seen him on The Ed Show and several other media outlets since the worker revolt began in Wisconsin early last year.
Now, Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin President Mahlon Mitchell is running for lieutenant governor as a Democrat.
Mitchell, 35, is a lieutenant on the Madison fire department, where he has served for nearly 15 years. He's has been active in the effort to recall Republican Gov. Scott Walker and Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, speaking across the country against taking away public workers' collective bargaining rights.
Milwaukee private investigator Ira Robins has also said he plans on running for the Democratic Party's nomination.
Once election officials determine enough signatures were gathered to trigger a recall, any primary would be May 8 with the general election June 5.
Mitchell will be Ed's guest tonight on The Ed Show at 8pET on MSNBC.

The Right Wing Radical Fringe Extremists of the GOP/TEA'D Off party in Wisconsin will soon be thrown to the curb where they belong!!!!
Mahlon would be a great Lt Governor, he is an honorable man, and would do whats fair for ALL even though he represents a union. Most unions are good, they do whats not only best for the workers but employers as well, its called negotiation, compromise, maybe congress could get a lesson in that. If it were not for unions. wages would be horrible, and the evidence is on the table now, just see what the wages are now when so many states got rid of the unions. Unions help set the wages in this country, and that's a fact.
Cece~ That is never going to happen. Big business and the Chinese government will make sure it never happens.
Cece....I take the unions over the greed of corporations any day. Union bashing is getting old, and here in WI it will not work anymore. We know what our gov and repubs did to this state and its not just about collective bargaining, its way more than that. They succeeded in dividing this state like I have never seen before, hell its happening all over this country!
Finally people are figuring out what unions really do! The are parasites that suck the life out of whatever business or government they attach themselves to. Keep up the good fight, Wisconsin!
Those of us from the "right to work" (free) states applaud your efforts!
Would Ed Shultz still be cheerleading these Labor ideals if He wasn't getting payolla from the AFL-CIO ?
Speaking of unions, Ed, how about doing a story on the MSNBC personality who took $200K from the AFL-CIO. How about it, Ed .... Whaddaya think?
And which POS Wisconsin Governor is taking millions from the KOCK bro's with the intent of killing unions?
Whatever it takes to kill the government employee unions! The sooner, the better!
I see this as very good news. Good luck to Robbins and Mitchell. I saw Mitchell on the Ed show and he seems to know exactly what needs to be done and how to do it. I was impressed.
