From WisPolitics.com

Pecatonica Area School District Superintendent Jill Underly announced today she’s running for state schools superintendent in 2021.

Underly said in her announcement she has more than 20 years of experience as an educator and administrator in rural and urban districts. She’s been with the Pecatonica school district since 2015.

She described herself as “a first-generation college graduate from a working-class union household” who knows the “value of strong public schools and the inspiring power of great educators.”

Underly previously worked as a federal programs consultant and assistant director at DPI and an academic adviser at UW-Madison.

Superintendent Carolyn Stanford Taylor, appointed by Gov. Tony Evers to replace him as head of the agency, isn’t seeking a full term. The primary, if needed, will be Feb. 16.

Sachin Chheda of Nation Consulting is running Underly’s campaign.
