Today, Senator Dan Feyen (R-Fond du Lac), released the following statement after voting in an Executive Session of the Senate Committee on Shared Revenue, Elections and Consumer Protection.

“Today I voted against the appointment Meagan Wolfe to serve as Administrator of the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

“Two weeks ago when the committee met to hear testimony on Ms. Wolfe’s appointment, she didn’t bother to show up to her own public hearing. What I heard instead were numerous concerns from Wisconsinites around the state who have lost faith in the job she was doing as administrator.

“Elections are at the foundation of our democracy and it is important that every citizen can trust that their vote will matter. This hearing made it clear to me that under Ms. Wolfe’s leadership, too many Wisconsinites don’t have this trust.”
