Godlewski Instead Intends to Run for Lieutenant Governor Next Year, an Adviser Said Monday.

DANE COUNTY, WISCONSIN, JUL 28 – Sarah Godlewski will decide soon whether to seek lieutenant governor with backing from statewide Democratic leaders after Gov. Tony Evers announced he will not run for a third term.

  • On Monday, Wisconsin's Democratic Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski said she won't run for governor or a full term as secretary and is considering a bid for lieutenant governor.
  • On Sunday, Scott Walker, Republican former governor, said he will not run for office and is focused on his work at the Young America’s Foundation.
  • Joining the contest, Attorney General Josh Kaul, Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson, former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, and state Sen. Kelda Roys are weighing runs, with Godlewski exploring a lieutenant governor bid.
  • Evers maintained neutrality, indicating he won't back anyone in the upcoming primary, and said, 'I'll never say never, but I want to make sure who the rest of the candidates are before I even make that decision.'
  • In the coming weeks, Godlewski will make calls to leaders across Wisconsin before deciding, with plans to leverage significant support from Democrats if she runs.
