Governor Tony Evers responded to questions regarding his appointment of Sarah Godlewski as Secretary of State. Longtime Secretary of State Doug La Follette resigned last week. He had just been elected to a new term months prior. Evers appointed Godlewski to the role. Evers denied having any prior knowledge that La Follette was going to step own. Republican lawmakers have authored a joint resolution calling on Evers to hold a special election to fill the Secretary of State role.
