Herb Kohl
Herbert Hiken Kohl (February 7, 1935 – December 27, 2023) was an American businessman, philanthropist, and Democratic politician from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.He was named interim chairman at an April 12, 1975, emergency session, and was then elected by the party's state convention delegates later that summer.[9] Under Kohl's chairmanship, Democrats won historic victories in the 1976 election, reaching a supermajority in both chambers of the legislature for the first time since the creation of the Republican Party.In 2003, he considered an offer to sell the team to former NBA superstar Michael Jordan, but decided to retain ownership.[15] Kohl agreed to sell the Bucks to New York–based billionaires Wes Edens and Marc Lasry for $550 million on April 16, 2014.[13] In his ownership, the Bucks went through six head coaches, which started with Don Nelson, who resigned in 1987 after his relationship with Kohl deteriorated.Kohl ran for the seat and faced Tony Earl, Ed Garvey, and Doug La Follette in the Democratic Party primary election.He voted against Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards and was rated highly by groups that desire universal health care.He voted in favor of expanding Medicare and SCHIP and desired that prescription drugs be included under federal health coverage.During his 2006 reelection campaign, Kohl advocated that HMOs be placed under more scrutiny in order to determine if they're effectively delivering care.[32] Earlier in his career, he helped push the Gun-Free Schools Act which the U.S. Supreme Court overturned in 1995 and submitted many amendments to that effect.
