MADISON (WKOW) -- Dane County Executive Joe Parisi announced his intention to retire from public service in a press release sent Wednesday.
Parisi will step down in May of 2024, capping a run of over a dozen years in the office.
“Serving my community as county executive has been one of the greatest honors of my life, and I’m grateful beyond words for the trust my hometown has put in me over the past 12 years,” Parisi said. “This work has been purely a team effort, with my staff, county employees, and our partners throughout the community rising to the occasion time and again to ensure our community’s values of watching out for one another and protecting our natural environment have been respected and acted upon.”
Parisi did not offer a reason for the retirement. Instead, he opted to focus on the work left to be done over his remaining months in office.
