Wisconsin Secretary of State and Lieutenant Governor candidate Sarah Godlewski posted a video to her Facebook page on April 15, responding to hail that struck southeastern Wisconsin the previous day.
In the video, Godlewski described golf-ball-sized hail falling in her front yard and questioned whether such weather was normal. She said, “This is not normal.” Godlewski also commented, “Republicans say we don’t have climate change, but this is golf-ball-sized hail in my front yard!”
The post has drawn attention for its tone and content. Some social media users shared clips from the video and questioned her statements about the connection between hail events and climate change.
Godlewski has previously posted videos online with state Representative Robyn Vining. As a Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor, she continues to use social media platforms to share her perspectives on current events.
There were no official statements from meteorological agencies included regarding the frequency or significance of large hail events in Wisconsin.
