1951

Kathleen Falk (born June 26, 1951) is an American attorney, politician, and policymaker from Wisconsin who served as Dane County Executive from 1997 until 2011.

1973

She earned a bachelor's degree in philosophy from Stanford University in 1973 and graduated from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 1976.

She is also a graduate of Harvard University's Senior Executives in State and Local Government Program.

Following law school, Falk became the co-director and general counsel of Wisconsin's Environmental Decade, Inc., a non-profit, public interest organization devoted to environmental litigation and lobbying.

Falk argued cases before the Wisconsin Supreme Court during her tenure there.

1983

From 1983 to 1997, she was an assistant attorney general and public intervenor in the Wisconsin Department of Justice; she previously worked as a co-director and legal counsel of Wisconsin's Environmental Decade, an advocacy organization.

Falk is the only woman to serve as Dane County Executive and was the first woman to seek a major party's gubernatorial nomination in Wisconsin.

Falk was raised in Waukesha County, Wisconsin.

In 1983, Falk was hired as an assistant attorney general in the Wisconsin Department of Justice.

Attorney General Bronson La Follette appointed Falk to serve as Public Intervenor, in which capacity Falk performed litigation, lobbying, and advocacy on environmental protection matters.

1995

Falk's position was eliminated in 1995, during the tenure of Attorney General Jim Doyle, and Falk became an assistant attorney general at the department.

1996

Falk made her first run for public office in 1996, running for Dane County Executive.

She finished first in the runoff and eventually defeated a long-time county board member, Mike Blaska.

2001

She was later re-elected three times (2001, 2005, 2009).

During her 14-year tenure, she implemented mergers of county departments, vetoed borrowing for jail construction and ended Dane County's practice of sending its inmates to other counties for incarceration.

Falk enlarged the county sheriff's department by adding 134 new positions, opened a juvenile justice facility, and launched a community-based initiative aimed at gang prevention.

Falk's budgets funded jail diversion programs for non-violent substance-addicted offenders, a home visitation model for at-risk families, and environmental programs focused on water quality and land conservation.

2002

A Democrat, Falk unsuccessfully sought the party's nomination for Governor of Wisconsin in 2002 and in the 2012 recall election. In 2006, Falk defeated Democratic Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager to win the party's nomination for Attorney General, but was defeated by Republican J. B. Van Hollen in the general election.
