Godlewski, who previously served as state treasurer, was coming off an unsuccessful 2022 midterm bid for U.S. Senate. She and two other top contenders dropped out of the crowded Democratic primary in the same week in July to clear the way for former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, who ultimately lost to incumbent Republican Sen. Ron Johnson.Godlewski has repeatedly denied allegations that Evers handed her the office as a reward for dropping out of the Senate race and endorsing Barnes.
Godlewski's office confirmed on May 25, after the IRG sent multiple emails asking for updates, that it had received the request, according to a complaint filed in Waukesha County Court on Tuesday and provided to the AP in advance. The complaint alleges that since May 25, Godlewski's office has not turned over any records, denied the request, or sent an update — effectively blocking the request.Godlewski did not immediately return a voicemail left Tuesday morning.
