“Wisconsin’s Democratic Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski doesn’t plan to run for governor or for a full term in her current position, but she is considering running for lieutenant governor next year, an adviser said Monday. Democratic Gov. Tony Evers announced Thursday that he won’t seek a third term in the battleground state, creating an open race next year. Godlewski was one of several Democrats mentioned as a possible contender. But on Monday, Godlewski made it clear that she is instead looking into running for the state’s No. 2 role, instead of governor or secretary of state. ‘She is making calls to leaders across the state and will make a final decision on a run in the coming weeks,’ adviser Scott Spector said. ‘If she gets in this race, it will be with significant support from elected and local Democrats from across Wisconsin.'” (07/28/25)
