Varnam Makes Run Official

Though he broke the news last week, Lancaster Mayor Dave Varnam made his intentions official Tuesday. Varnam has formally announced his bid to run for Wisconsin’s lieutenant governor. In a release, Varnam cited poor leadership from current Governor Tony Evers and his Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes as the reason he’s running for the seat. As for his qualifications, the 3-term mayor says he has kept property taxes and utility fees low for the City of Lancaster. Varnam will run for the Republican party’s nomination to take over the post.
