Sounds like she will be great at protecting Wisconsin's Oceans. Another DEI hire.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Democratic Gov. Tony Evers has finally picked a new leader for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

The governor announced Monday that he has appointed Karen Hyun as the agency’s secretary. Hyun has worked as chief of staff of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration since 2021. She worked as the National Audubon Society’s director of water and coastal policy before becoming vice president of coastal conservation in 2018. She also served as deputy assistant secretary for fish, wildlife and parks at the Department of the Interior in 2015.

The secretary position has been vacant since Adam Payne quit in early November 2023 after just 10 months on the job. Asked in an email Monday why the search took so long, Evers spokesperson Britt Cudaback responded by saying “we can refer you to the governor’s many previous comments.” She did not elaborate.

This will be interesting to watch.

Moosetrot

Probably just more disappointment.

I am not optimistic about this choice at all!

We get this secretary because we got this govenor, We got this govenor so we could cross the RR tracks. Remember? More than a couple on here voted for evers and we got him as a big FU from the unions.Thanks.

Does she have ocean front property in Wisconsin? At least that would make her somewhat resident.

Yes and was going to legalize weed too.

Maybe Lake Mendota

Not too many are. We'll see I guess

If she lives in Madison she probably loves wolves
