As a prosecutor, private-practice attorney, and now as a judge, Susan Crawford has always believed in protecting the basic rights and freedoms of Wisconsinites. She has a deep understanding of our justice system and knows how important it is to have Supreme Court justices who understand how to keep communities safe, who are fair and impartial, and who will reject efforts to politicize the constitution to undermine our most basic rights.

Tony Weid

Welcome to our new secretary – Rhys Lumaye
“Hello and thank you for allowing me to serve as secretary of the Democratic Party of Kewaunee County. I grew up in Kewaunee and graduated from Holy Rosary School in 2004, and Kewaunee High School in 2008. After high school, I attended Carroll University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science and a minor in Hispanic Health and Human Services. My first job after college was being an Activity Director and working with senior residents at two assisted living facilities, one being in Green Bay and the other in Kewaunee. I went back to school in 2014 attending NWTC-Green Bay and earned an EMT-Basic license; my license expired in 2018. I am currently employed at Piggly Wiggly in Kewaunee. Some of my talents and hobbies include writing poems, listening to music, acrylic painting, attending peer groups to engage with the community and listen to the needs of others, and going for walks with my two dogs, Micah and Abilene. I look forward to working with all of you. Thank you!”
