Fort Madison
Patrick Lucey, former
Wisconsin governor
Associated Press
MILWAUKEE — Former Wisconsin Gov. Patrick Lucey, a hardnosed Democratic politician who
later became the U.S. ambassador
to Mexico, has died. He was 96.
Lucey, who also ran for vice
president of the United States
as an independent in 1980, died
Saturday night at the Milwaukee
Catholic Home after a brief Illness, said his son, Paul Lucey,
of Milwaukee. He said funeral
arrangements are pending.
“Governor Lucey was a dedicated public servant who loved
Wisconsin,” Republican Gov.
Scott Walker said in a statement.
He called it “a particular joy” to
be with him last summer for the
40th anniversary of the Kikkoman Foods Inc. soy sauce plant in
Fontana.
Patrick Lucey was elected
governor in 1970 and won re-election in 1974, but he left midway
through his second term to serve
as then-President Jimmy Carter’s
ambassador to Mexico.
In Wisconsin, he will perhaps
be remembered most for pushing
to merge the University of Wisconsin in Madison with the state
college system, a fierce battle that
created today’s system of 13 fouryear state colleges.
Lucey was born in La Crosse,
Wisconsin, in 1918. He worked
as a grocery store manager from
1937 until 1940 and served in
World War II in the Caribbean. He
was elected to the state assembly
in 1948 and became executive
director and later chairman of the
state Democratic Party. He served
as lieutenant governor in 1966.
In 1980, Lucey became independent John Anderson’s running mate in a failed bid to defeat
Carter and Republican Ronald
Reagan, who won the election.
Lucey continued to remain
active in politics and every bit as
opinionated well into his 90s.
