Colleagues praise choice of Frostman for Workforce Development Secretary

Outgoing state senator Caleb Frostman of Sturgeon Bay will be Secretary of the Department of Workforce Development.

Frostman was executive director of the Door County Economic Development Corporation before running for public office. He won a special election to fill a vacant seat for the 1st Senate District last June but lost his bid for a full term in November to Republican Andre Jacque of De Pere.

Former colleagues of Frostman say his background brings a unique perspective to the cabinet position.
