Farm wife Celia Lausted was named to the Wisconsin Governor's Commission on the Status of Women, filling a vacancy and serving until February 1, 1981. A pioneer as the first farm person on the panel, Lausted has spent four years advocating marital property reform, speaking and writing on Wisconsin laws that affect widows and fatherless children.
Mrs. Lausted, a Colfax farm partner, campaigns for inheritance and taxation changes to recognize a farm wife’s labor. Appointed to the Governor's Commission on the Status of Women, she lobbies for a bill blending state laws to grant equal recognition to both spouses, arguing the farm family core hinges on shared contributions and homemaking alongside finances.
