Rep. Plumer receives Wisconsin Counties Association’s Outstanding Legislator Award

“We are proud to recognize Representative Plumer for his efforts on behalf of Wisconsin’s 72 counties,” WCA Executive Director Mark D. O’Connell said in a news release. “He is an advocate and true partner who understands the important relationship between the state and counties. We at the Wisconsin Counties Association are honored to work alongside him to create effective policies that serve our communities, while keeping the taxpayers in mind.”

“Staff is imperative to the legislative process and we recognize these dedicated individuals with our awards,” said O’Connell. “We are excited to name Mitch as ‘WCA Outstanding Legislative Staff’ and are grateful for his partnership with our WCA Government Affairs Team.”
