Stacie H Rosenzweig

Stacie H. Rosenzweig is head of the Election, Campaign & Political Law practice team at Halling & Cayo S.C. She has been interested in elections and politics since at least 1984, when her fourth-grade class studied the presidential election (she was Vermont in the mock Electoral College). She stayed up watching presidential election returns and colored in the states as the results came in. Her decades-long association between democracy and deviled eggs started at an inauguration watch party.  Since then, Stacie has participated in the political process as a voter and a volunteer. She has served in a variety of campaign roles, including petitioner, treasurer, and fundraiser pie-baker.  She has staffed tables at community fairs in the summer sun, and knocked doors in the snow and slush.

In her practice, Stacie represents candidates, incumbents, and committees at all levels, from first-time contenders for local positions to experienced candidates for statewide and federal offices. She appears on behalf of candidates before the Wisconsin Elections Commission and other regulatory bodies, and has fought in court for voting rights. In November 2020, she was honored to serve as co-counsel to the Biden for President campaign during the post-election recount.
