In the first post-election meeting of the Assembly Republican Caucus Monday, State Rep. Samantha Kerkman (R-Salem Lakes) was elected to serve as the 2019-2020 Assembly Majority Caucus Sergeant-at-Arms.
Kerkman has been a member of the Assembly Republican’s leadership team since 2011; this will be her 5th consecutive term as Sergeant-at-Arms.
“I look forward to contributing my experience to both our caucus and Assembly-wide discussions,” said Kerkman. “I have always valued reaching across the aisle to achieve success for Wisconsin and the Kenosha-county area, and warmly anticipate maintaining existing relationships and building new ones.”
In addition to helping develop and execute caucus priorities, the Majority Caucus Sergeant-at-Arms maintains order in caucus meetings, supervising the coming and going of all persons to and from caucus and coordinating materials distribution and meeting the needs of members in caucus. Kerkman and her staff are mentors to new legislators and staff and assist with legislator and staff development.
