		Cieslewicz, executive director of the nonprofit environmental group, 1000 Friends of Wisconsin, had 51 percent of the vote to 49 percent for Soglin, mayor for 14 years during the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.
		Cieslewicz is poised to "redefine the progressive tradition for 21st century Madison," Kettl said.
		Cieslewicz, who launched his campaign with a typically humorous call to elect a mayor with "more creatively placed consonants in his name," spent the early months educating people on how to say it, and wove in a serious theme of new ideas and leadership.

		Cieslewicz opposes a city sales tax, believes the city should embrace mandatory inclusionary zoning, backs the town of Madison annexation deal and is generally amenable to working with Dane County on consolidating services.

	Burnt Orange Report - Progressive Mayor of Madison, WI Endorses Edwards
		Mayor Dave Cieslewicz, who leads the state's second-largest city, was courted by all leading candidates, but said he decided to back Edwards largely because of his focus on economic issues, especially the concerns of low-income Americans and the needs of cities.
		When Dave Cieslewicz was campaigning for mayor of Madison earlier this year, the veteran environmental activist received valuable support from leading local Greens.
		Cieslewicz is a Democrat, but his record as director of the 1,000 Friends of Wisconsin environmental group, his very progressive stances on economic and social issues, and his freewheeling style made him attractive to a number of committed Green activists and elected officials in Madison.

		Agree with the wisdom of his policy changes or not, Cieslewicz campaigned on the promise to implement inclusionary zoning to increase the city's stock of affordable housing and to raise the minimum wage.
		Cieslewicz's action-based plan for Allied Drive continues the decade-long city tradition of recognizing problems in neighborhoods and moving decisively to turn them around.
		But it seems inconceivable that Cieslewicz would reject recommendations from the economic development commission he has put so much stock in, or the Chamber of Commerce-led implementation of the pro-business aspects of his Health City plan.
