MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Latest on Gov.-elect Tony Evers Cabinet appointments.
Some Republicans are bemoaning a lack of geographic diversity in the first four Cabinet picks announced by Gov.-elect Tony Evers.
All four of his selections announced Wednesday are from Milwaukee. Two of them are African American, one is a woman and the fourth is a white man.
Republican Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke, of Kaukauna, tweeted that “Hopefully the rest of the state will eventually be represented in this administration.”
And Republican state Rep. Scott Krug, of Nekoosa, tweeted that choosing Department of Natural Resources and Tourism secretaries from Milwaukee is “not very encouraging so far.”
Evers chose Joel Brennan to be Department of Administration Secretary; Preston Cole to head the DNR; Kevin Carr as Corrections Secretary; and Sara Meaney to lead the Tourism Department.
