Gov. Tony Evers has appointed Alexis Nash to serve as Price County District Attorney. The appointment fills a vacancy created by former Price County District Attorney Matthew McElroy’s resignation. Nash will serve for the remainder of the unexpired term that ends January 2029.
“Alexis Nash’s years of service and commitment to justice and collaboration will serve the Price County community well,” said Gov. Evers in a statement.
Since 2023, Nash has served as an assistant district attorney in the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office where she manages a high-volume caseload ranging from misdemeanors to serious violent felonies and has tried 16 cases to verdict over the past three years. Working with the Family Drug Treatment Court, she has gained valuable experience in collaborative problem-solving within the drug treatment and child welfare systems, according to a press release from the governor’s office.
“I’m honored by the governor’s trust and the opportunity to serve the people of Price County,” said Nash. “The role of a prosecutor is to pursue justice with fairness, sound judgment, and respect for the law. My focus will be on doing the work carefully and consistently; supporting victims, working collaboratively with law enforcement, and ensuring that the justice system serves the community with integrity.”
