Dashal Young has experience in conservative politics and government as well as education and sports. He was the director of community relations for and a confidant of Scott Walker when Walker was county executive. Dashal was also the director of urban development for the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families and worked for Wisconsin Community Services. Some expected or have encouraged Dashal to run for office himself, maybe even climb the ranks for a position of influence in D.C. Once, though, Dashal turned down political job opportunities to teach in Milwaukee Public Schools . In the summers he’s also served as the assistant director of the National Youth Sports Program at Marquette University, his alma mater.
