RIP and condolences to her family.

Former state representative and Wisconsin Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager, the first woman to hold the post, has died, according to Rep. Gordon Hintz (D-Oshkosh), who issued a news release Saturday.

She is believed to have been 62 years old. Cause of death was not immediately reported.

I had the opportunity to debate her several times on WPR’s Week in Review program. Her articulate advocacy for her views will be missed.
