State Rep. Samantha Kerkman (R-Salem Lakes) was sworn into office as Kenosha County Executive on Monday after being elected to the position earlier this month. Current state law bars state legislators from simultaneously serving as county executives. She has sixty days from Monday to resign her Assembly seat, which she says will do sometime in June.
“I’m excited to hit the ground running,” said Kerkman. “I look forward to continuing a process of listening to stakeholders inside and outside of county government about their needs and concerns, and forging a productive path forward for the county.”
