Link to February 18 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article, "Evers, Fernandez win April ballot spots".Excerpt:
The No. 2 at the Department of Public Instruction finished No. 1 in the primary election for the next head of the state education agency, setting up a general election showdown with the self-described "outsider" in the race.
Tony Evers, the deputy superintendent of public instruction for the past eight years, had widely been considered the favorite in the race to succeed his boss, who announced in October that she would not seek a third term.
On Tuesday, he finished just ahead of Rose Fernandez [note the campaign slogan], a former pediatric trauma nurse and parent advocate, in a five-person field.
Although she finished the night in second place, Fernandez, 51, characterized her performance as "a victory for real people over the special interests."
