Jan. 20, 2021 – The State Bar of Wisconsin’s election cycle is in full swing and this year’s president-elect candidates, Odalo Ohiku and Margaret Hickey, are vying for the position, a one-year term before serving a one-year term as president.
In April, the State Bar membership will elect a president-elect, as well as other officer positions, including a State Bar treasurer and a Judicial Council representative. Those elected will take office at the start of the fiscal year, July 1, 2021.
The State Bar’s Nomination Committee has tapped Hickey and Ohiku, both of Milwaukee, as candidates to ultimately lead the organization.
The Nomination Committee customarily chooses candidates in a rotation between Madison, Milwaukee, and the pool of candidates in greater Wisconsin. Whoever is elected will succeed Cheryl Daniels, who takes over as president on July 1.

The 42-year-old West Allis man applied for federal Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) on March 17. He says the state Department of Workforce Development approved his claim in July, but, like so many thousands of out-of-work Wisconsinites, he heard nothing from the agency for months.
While the Evers administration pats itself on the back for cutting through much of the massive backlog of unemployment claims that flooded the inept DWD, thousands like Kuehn remain stuck in an administrative nightmare. And as Evers finally proposes funding to upgrade the Unemployment Insurance Division’s technology, Kuehn believes the administration failed to act when it mattered most.

Kelly brings experience, empathy Peter B. Kelly
MONROE Green County judicial candidate Peter B. Kelly ended up in Monroe almost by chance when the law firm he was working for in Janesville opened a Monroe office. He made the switch to Monroe in 1986 and never looked back: this is now his hometown.
He stayed with the firm for 22 years before starting his own in 2008, housed in a barn on his family’s rural Monroe farm. What separates Kelly from the others, however, isn’t just his unique office but also his decades of legal experience from working both in the courtroom as well as directly with incarcerated individuals.
