In an interview later with The Capital Times editorial board, Cieslewicz said his remarks stem from how things "got nasty in an organized kind of way" during this spring's City Council elections.
Cieslewicz was particularly critical of the Dane County Democratic Party for funding a new group, Citizens for Madison's Future, which distributed two negative mailings targeted at Progressive Dane candidates that had Democratic opponents.
"To Progressive Dane's credit, they stuck to the issues," he said.
