[2] In February 2018, the commission, comprising three Republicans and three Democrats, voted for Wolfe to serve as the interim administrator, succeeding Michael Haas.

[2] She was appointed interim administrator March 2, 2018, and was unanimously confirmed by the Wisconsin State Senate on May 15, 2019, for a term ending June 30, 2023.

[4][5] In response to the criticism, the Wisconsin Business Leaders for Democracy Coalition, a bipartisan group expressed support for Wolfe.

"[9] Kaul ultimately launched a lawsuit to clarify the legality of Wolfe's status, holding to the precedent of the recent Wisconsin Supreme Court decision in State ex rel.

Kaul v. Prehn, where the court held that an official could remain in their post beyond the expiration of their term until a successor was properly nominated and confirmed.

[10] Subsequently, a number of Republican state representatives, led by Janel Brandtjen, began circulating a resolution to attempt to remove her through the impeachment process.

[11] Vos—who had barely survived a 2022 primary challenge—caved to their demands just hours after the ad campaign was announced, and assigned the articles of impeachment to the Assembly Committee on Government Accountability and Oversight.

Similarly, it was the commission members, not Wolfe, who authorized the return of multiple ballots, sometimes described as ballot harvesting.The ads continue, accusing Wolfe of permitting local governments to accept private funds to run elections, described as “Zuckerbucks,” from an organization affiliated with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

The advertising and direct mail campaign did continue in southeast Wisconsin urging impeachment, and Vos received more pressure from his legislature colleagues, including Senate president Chris Kapenga.

[18] Following Trump's comments, and due to an increase in threats, Governor Tony Evers approved additional security for Wolfe.
