Governor Jim Pillen has appointed Todd Wiltgen as the new Lancaster County Election Commissioner. Wiltgen replaces Dave Shively, who retired on Jan. 20 after a tenure of over two decades. Most recently, Wiltgen served as the public policy specialist for the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce. He was also on the Lancaster County Board of Commissioners from 2015 through 2018.
“Todd is familiar with election processes, having run for office himself and in his prior roles serving state and federal elected officials,” said Governor Pillen. “He is committed to public service and will work hard as election commissioner, ensuring that voters in Lancaster County are informed and that election processes are secure.”
Wiltgen will begin his duties on Feb. 13.
