County Board Chair & County Administrator

Standard structure — an elected Board Chair plus a professionally appointed (not elected) County Administrator under Wis. Stat. Section 59.18, NOT a separately elected County Executive despite Rock's population exceeding several Executive-form counties in this batch. Board Chair: Kevin Leavy. County Administrator: John Light (appointed March 2025, a recent transition). LOWER CONFIDENCE: the county's own site blocked all automated fetch attempts; findings are corroborated via multiple independent secondary sources rather than a direct primary-source read.

Other Local Government Here
