For the first time in decades, the Wisconsin Senate has rejected a governor’s nominee to serve in his cabinet.
The Senate voted along party lines Tuesday against the nomination of Brad Pfaff, who would have led the Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection.
In February, Pfaff got unanimous approval from a Senate committee. But Tuesday, all Republicans voted against his nomination.
It’s now been a year since Gov. Tony Evers was elected. But the Senate has approved less than half of his cabinet picks.
The others are serving without confirmation.
