By Gov. Tony Evers - Dec 24th, 2024 01:27 pm

MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers today released a statement regarding the passing of former Wisconsin State Sen. Tim Cullen.

“Former Sen. Cullen was a dedicated public servant who devoted much of his life to good governance and improving the state that raised him,” Gov. Evers said. “Sen. Cullen always fought for working families, gave back to and supported kids in the Janesville area, and advocated fiercely for nonpartisan redistricting and access to the ballot box during both his time in the Wisconsin State Senate and beyond it. He spent much of his life working to end partisan gerrymandering and fighting for Wisconsin to have fair maps at long last. There is no doubt our state is better off because of Sen. Cullen and his service. Kathy and I extend our deepest condolences to his family, colleagues, and all those who knew him.”
