Finally some good election news out of Wisconsin:

The current Members of the Wisconsin Elections Commission announced they have unanimously selected Michael Haas of Marshall, Wisconsin to serve as the Administrator of the new Wisconsin Elections Commission.  Haas will begin work on Thursday, June 30, 2016 when the Elections Commission begins operations.  Haas currently serves as the Elections Division Administrator for the Government Accountability Board.

The four Commissioners are unanimous in their belief that they can best prepare for the 2016 election cycle with Mike Haas at the helm of the new Commission.  He currently supervises the program staff who will transfer to the Commission from the Government Accountability Board.  Mike also has a strong working relationship with the legal and administrative staff who will transfer to the Commission.  The Commissioners voted to hire Haas at a meeting Thursday.
