Julietta Henry

Julietta Henry is the Deputy Director of DeKalb County Voter Registration & Elections since June of 2022.  Before that, she served as the Director of the Milwaukee County Election Commission.  As the Director of Elections for the largest county in the State of Wisconsin, she was responsible for managing all elections within Milwaukee County by effectively communicating with 19 Municipal Clerks to ensure that the process and implementation of each election were fair, equitable, and efficient, including reconciliation of certification of election results.  Through her innovations, she spearheaded a county-wide computer conversion project that saved taxpayers millions of dollars. She has successfully directed recounts for the 2016 and 2020 Presidential elections amid the COVID-19 pandemic.  Before serving at the county, Julietta was the Executive Director of Elections for the City of Milwaukee, the largest municipality in the state.  She is a recognized election expert with over 32 years of government service experience at the state, county, and municipal levels. She has been asked to advise and troubleshoot election issues throughout her career.  Recently, she received the 2021 Milwaukee Business Journal Women of Influence Award in the category of Public Policy and was recognized by the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors for her leadership, invaluable service, and election knowledge.

“They’re citizens. They’re professionals. They’re our neighbors. If we start to view our fellow citizens as our enemies, we’re lost.”
— David Becker (Republican push to recruit election deniers as poll workers causes alarm | June 30, 2022 – The Guardian)
“Election officials never get praised if elections go right and the wrath comes down on them if they do them wrong. When we saw election officials being prosecuted for just doing their jobs... we formed [EOLDN] and we do provide pro bono legal services to any election officials who need it.”
— Ben Ginsberg (Trump’s pressure on Pence more ‘unprecedented’ than ‘what we saw in Watergate’ | June 17, 2022 – MSNBC)
“Those who are threatening … these officials, whether they're full-time, whether they're volunteers, whether they're in positions of the most senior responsibility or they're simply on the staff — those who threaten them need to know they cannot act with impunity. There will be a defense and it will be a robust defense."
— Bob Bauer (Helping election officials who are threatened | March 14, 2022 – 60 Minutes Overtime, CBS News)
"What we are seeing developing now is a huge step backwards from a focus on professionalized election administration to a heavy level of political interference in the work of trained election professionals. Our hope now is to provide [election officials] with a resource I wish they didn't have to have, but one I think they have desperately needed."
— Bob Bauer (Election Workers Are Under Attack. A Group Of Lawyers Plans To Defend Them | September 8, 2021 – National Public Radio)
