Wisconsin Governor Names New Secretary of State

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has appointed former state Treasurer Sarah Godlewski to replace outgoing Secretary of State Doug La Follette, who has served in the position for more than four decades. La Follette is retiring early from his term as Wisconsin secretary of state as his term expires in 2027. Godlewski previously ran for Senate last cycle but ended her campaign early as Wisconsin Democrats ended up coalescing support around Democrat Mandela Barnes.
