Sarah Keyeski (née Everson; born October 1970) is an American mental health counselor and Democratic politician from Columbia County, Wisconsin. She is a member-elect of the Wisconsin Senate, and will represent Wisconsin's 14th Senate district in the 107th Wisconsin Legislature (2025–2026).

Biography

Sarah Keyeski was born Sarah Everson. She was raised on her family's farm near Cashton, Wisconsin. After graduating from high school, she earned her bachelor's degree from Luther College in Iowa. She went on to obtain her master's degree from Northwestern University in Illinois, and was then certified as a Licensed Professional Counselor.^[1]

She returned to Wisconsin and worked as a mental health counselor in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, for more than a decade. In 2017, she moved to a home just outside the city of Lodi, Wisconsin, in Columbia County, where she opened a private counseling practice the following year.^[1]

Seeing the mental health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, Keyeski founded the non-profit "Lift Lodi" to engage members of the community in volunteer opportunities to beautify the city and surroundings.^[1]

Keyeski decided to make her first bid for public office in 2024,^[1] after the Wisconsin Legislature adopted a dramatic redistricting plan which significantly affected her area of the state. Keyeski declared a run for Wisconsin Senate in the redrawn 14th Senate district. The redistricting had drawn 14th district state senator Joan Ballweg out of the district, but Ballweg declared her intention to relocate to maintain residency and run for re-election. Keyeski was unopposed in the Democratic primary. In the general election, the 14th Senate district was one of the most competitive races in the state.^[2] Keyeski prevailed with about 51% of the vote.^[3]^[4]

Personal life and family

Sarah Everson took the last name Keyeski when she married Rodney Keyeski. They have six children together and reside in the town of Lodi, Wisconsin.^[1]
