Gov. Evers Appoints Alexis Nash as Price County District Attorney

MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers announced today his appointment of Alexis Nash to serve as Price County District Attorney. The appointment fills a vacancy created by former Price County District Attorney Matthew McElroy’s resignation. Nash will serve for the remainder of the unexpired term that ends January 2029.

“Alexis Nash’s years of service and commitment to justice and collaboration will serve the Price County community well,” said Gov. Evers.

Since 2023, Nash has served as an assistant district attorney in the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office. She manages a high-volume caseload ranging from misdemeanors to serious violent felonies and has tried 16 cases to verdict over the past three years. Working with the Family Drug Treatment Court, she has gained valuable experience in collaborative problem-solving within the drug treatment and child welfare systems. Earlier in her career, Nash practiced family law and, prior to earning her law degree, worked in financial services.

“Alexis Nash will serve the people of Price County with honor and integrity as their next district attorney,” said former Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm. “As a prosecutor in Milwaukee County, Alexis has ensured justice for the victims of crime and worked tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of children in unsafe living conditions. She has also played a pivotal role in the Family Drug Treatment Court program, displaying a firm commitment to the rights and dignity of all who interact with the criminal justice system.”

Nash is a graduate of Concordia University Wisconsin, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and the Widener University Commonwealth Law School. From 2012 to 2018, she served as the volunteer executive director of Impact Coalition for Families Inc., a Milwaukee nonprofit organization focused on strengthening families and preventing domestic and community violence. Nash has relocated to Price County for the position.

“I’m honored by the governor’s trust and the opportunity to serve the people of Price County,” said Nash. “The role of a prosecutor is to pursue justice with fairness, sound judgment, and respect for the law. My focus will be on doing the work carefully and consistently; supporting victims, working collaboratively with law enforcement, and ensuring that the justice system serves the community with integrity.”
