MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers today announced his appointment of David Casey to serve as secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR), effective April 29, 2024. Casey previously served as the deputy secretary of DOR, and his appointment fills the vacancy created by former Secretary Peter Barca’s departure.

“We are excited David is returning to state service as secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Revenue,” said Gov. Evers. “I look forward to David bringing his decades of experience in the industry, previous history working alongside our dedicated state workers, and his knowledge of our state tax laws and codes back to the department to serve the people of Wisconsin.”

Casey has nearly 30 years of professional experience working with state tax agencies to help improve taxpayer service and compliance. Casey currently serves as a principal industry expert in tax compliance and fraud for SAS Institute in Cary, North Carolina, where he assists tax agencies in the U.S. and internationally with the use of data analytics to identify and reduce tax fraud and maximize efficiency. Prior to his current role, Casey served as the deputy secretary of DOR from 2019 to 2022, where he worked to help oversee the department and promote excellence in service for the state’s taxpayers and businesses.

“Nearly every individual and business in the state of Wisconsin has some form of interaction with the Department of Revenue, and it is our responsibility to ensure these interactions are as efficient and effective as possible while maintaining the highest levels of tax compliance,” said Casey. “The department is a premier tax agency known for innovative solutions and outstanding customer service, all due to the focus of hardworking state employees. It is my honor to once again work in this world-class organization to serve the needs of Wisconsin taxpayers.”

]Casey graduated from Grinnell College in 1991 with a bachelor’s degree in economics and from Carnegie Mellon University in 1995 with a Master of Public Administration in public policy and management. Casey has also worked in public service as assistant to the city manager for the city of Vancouver in Washington, been a principal for American Management Systems in Fairfax, Virginia, served as a senior consulting manager for Deloitte Consulting LLP in Chicago, Illinois, and as an executive consulting manager for Revenue Solutions Inc. in Pembroke, Massachusetts.
