We have 'em on the run... Go WisconsinMADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A management consultant has registered to run for state treasurer.
Democrat Sarah Godlewski of Eau Claire filed campaign registration documents with the state Elections Commission on March 30. Godlewski is co-founder of venture capital company MaSa Partners.
Tom Hiller, a Republican investment manager from Madison, registered to run in January.
Incumbent Republican Matt Adamcyzk isn't seeking re-election. He has chosen to run for the state Assembly.
That leaves Godlewski and Hiller as the only candidates registered to run for treasurer so far.
Voters on Tuesday resoundingly defeated a proposed constitutional amendment that would have eliminated the treasurer's office. The amendment's supporters argued the office has no real duties.
The Republican candidate for state treasurer has abruptly quit the race.
Tom Hiller said in an email to The Associated Press on Wednesday afternoon that he had withdrawn from the race. He didn't offer any explanation and didn't immediately return a voicemail or reply to a follow-up email.
Hiller's decision leaves Democrat Sarah Godlewski the only registered candidate in the race.
Wisconsin voters on Tuesday overwhelmingly rejected a proposal constitutional amendment that would have eliminated the treasurer's office. Hiller and Godlewski both said Wednesday morning that voters want to preserve the office and give it more powers.
