Events Showcase How Policy Decisions Made in Madison are Working for Kenosha
Lt. Governor Barbara Lawton joined Governor Doyle and members of his cabinet for “Capital for a Day” in Kenosha, on Thursday, June 12.
The Capital for a Day program provides a unique opportunity for the administration to get a vivid snapshot of an area from multiple perspectives, and gives area citizens the chance to be on a first name basis with the governor, lieutenant governor and cabinet secretaries.
While in Kenosha, Lt. Governor Lawton held a creative economy roundtable with members of the Arts and Humanities Association (AHA!) of Kenosha, she met with business leaders and entrepreneurs at the Kemper Center, visited a farm that produces its own renewable energy and announced that the Kenosha Unified Number 1 School District joined her Energy Star Schools Challenge. She also appeared on the Lenny Palmer Show.

Lt. Gov. Lawton is a down-to-earth, approachable legislator who totally “gets it” regarding the arts…and she’s a musician. Appointed by the Governor, Lawton is the Chair of the Wisc. Arts Board, and has organized ground-breaking art in schools initiatives. Keep your eye on this woman. She’s a sensational asset to the arts and Wisconsin!
This lady is first class. She asked for a meeting with the board of AHA! Kenosha and was a delight, giving us plenty of ideas, contacts and support. She has offered to provide the community an art show in her office, something she does on a 6 week period. The state is lucky to have her and we are lucky to have her support.
