According to Governor Tony Evers, the Price County District Attorney, Matthew McElroy, has submitted his resignation, effective July 7, 2025.
McElroy replaced Karl Kelz in August 2023 after Kelz's resignation earlier that year.
The governor will need to appoint a new district attorney to fill the vacancy. The term will expire at the end of January 2029.
UPDATED 6-9-2025:
Matthew McElroy told My Price County that he is leaving the area to open an office in Stevens Point. He will be having his own practice there. He stated he is originally from the farther parts of Southern Wisconsin, but he worked in the Stevens Point and Wisconsin Rapids areas previously and really liked it, so he wants to move back there.
When asked if he would like to give a farewell message to the residents of Price County, he said, "I enjoyed my time as district attorney. It's been an honor to serve as their district attorney."
