MADISON, WI (WRN) — A Dane County supervisor is looking to become Wisconsin’s first Hmong lieutenant governor.
Peng Her is the CEO of the Hmong Institute in Madison, and if he’s elected would also be the first Hmong elected to a state-wide office in the nation.
Her has also served on the Governor’s Early Childhood Advisory Council, and the Governor’s Homeless working group.
Her became a US Citizen in 1986 along with his family, who came to America in the 70s following the fall of Laos.
