MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers announced today his appointment of Jillian Pfeifer to serve as Oneida County District Attorney. The appointment fills a vacancy created by District Attorney Michael W. Schiek’s election to the Oneida County Circuit Court. Pfeifer will serve for the remainder of the unexpired term that ends January 2025.
“Jillian Pfeifer is a well-respected attorney who brings the dedication, dependability, and temperament necessary for this important role,” said Gov. Evers. “She will serve the people of Oneida County well as their next district attorney.”
“Jillian Pfeifer is an excellent choice for the appointment of Oneida County District Attorney,” said Schiek. “She is intelligent, hardworking, comfortable in a courtroom, and has the skills to be an effective leader in this office. Over the last seven years, as the Oneida County assistant district attorney, Ms. Pfeifer has demonstrated an understanding of victims’ concerns, an ability to effectively communicate with local law enforcement agencies, and has gained the respect of judges, defense attorneys, and court staff. She understands this community and has a vested interest in Oneida County; with a commitment to public service, Ms. Pfeifer is an asset to the Northwoods.”
Pfeifer lives near Rhinelander with her family and is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Marquette University Law School. She has served in numerous leadership positions for the Oneida-Vilas-Forest Tri-County Bar Association and recently became a board member of the Rhinelander Area Scholarship Foundation.
“I am extremely honored to accept the appointment by Governor Evers to serve as the Oneida County District Attorney,” said Pfeifer. “I am humbled by the opportunity to continue the longstanding tradition of respectable district attorneys in Oneida County. I look forward to continuing the collaboration with our dedicated law enforcement agencies and other community partners.
