To stand out ahead of the Aug. 11 primary, Joel Brennan plans to lean on his 25 years of executive experience, including serving as Gov. Tony Evers’ head of the state Department of Administration.
Since announcing his candidacy for governor in December, former state Department of Administration Secretary Joel Brennan said one theme has risen to the top among the Wisconsinites he’s talked to: Everyone is feeling the weight of rising prices and economic uncertainty.
Former secretary of the Department of Administration, pictured during an interview last month with the Wisconsin State Journal, was chief executive officer of Milwaukee’s Discovery World before being appointed by Gov. Tony Evers to lead the DOA. Brennan left state government in 2021 to lead the Greater Milwaukee Committee.
