Meet the Candidate: Dana Pellebon for Dane County Executive Candidate A Public Affair

    • News

Today, we kick off the first of our candidate interviews for Dane County Executive. The seat that longtime Executive Joe Parisi recently retired from in the middle of his term. Four candidates will face off in the August primary, and Dana Pellebon’s name will be the first on the ballot. Pellebon joins WORT News Director Chali Pittman to discuss her priorities for the county and highlight some of the biggest issues facing Dane County–including housing access, criminal justice reform, and county funding.

Dana Pellebon is the executive director of the Rape Crisis Center and formerly headed up housing and operations at Porchlight. Until this spring, she served as a Dane County Board Supervisor, representing much of Fitchburg for District 33. A theater professional for decades, Pellebon has directed, acted and produced many works and participated in theater groups across Madison.
