(Raymond Neupert, WRN) Governor Tony Evers has picked a new head of the Department of Veterans Affairs, and he has an auspicious name.

Current D V A deputy secretary James Bond has been named to take over the position of his former boss Mary Kolar who stepped down last week. Bond is a disabled veteran, having served in the Marines as a clerk before being injured. Governor Evers says Bond will bring a wealth of experience to the position.

Bond will also be the state's first openly L-G-B-T secretary if he's confirmed by the state Senate.
