Secretary of State La Follette Resigns
March 17, 2023 | Wisconsin
Wisconsin‘s Democratic Secretary of State Doug La Follette resigned on Friday, three months into his 11th consecutive term in office.
Gov. Tony Evers appointed former Treasurer Sarah Godlewski, who ran for U.S. Senate last year but lost in the primary, to fill out the four-year term. Wisconsin’s secretary of state is not in charge of elections and has almost no official duties.
La Follette, 82, won reelection in November over a Republican who wanted to shift election duties to the office. (Excerpt from Independent.)
