Senator Sarah Keyeski grew up on a family farm in Cashton, Wisconsin with her parents and four siblings. Her dad was a dairy farmer and a union railroad worker and her mom was a registered nurse. She has lived a life of service because of the example set by her parents.

After earning her bachelor’s degree from Luther College in Iowa and then her master’s degree in psychology from Northwestern University in Illinois, Senator Keyeski became a licensed professional counselor. For the past 25 years, she has worked as a mental health provider at a rural clinic, and for the last six of those years, she also has also had her own private practice. Additionally, Senator Keyeski founded a local non-profit organization, “Lift Lodi,” which was formed following the COVID-19 crisis with the mission of cultivating a sense of community connectedness through devoted days of service uplifting Lodi’s shared environment. She finds deep purpose in improving the lives of others in her career and in a variety of volunteer efforts, from being a Girl Scout Leader to participating in mission trips and serving on multiple boards. She is honored and excited to serve in her new capacity as a legislator representing the 14th Senate District. 

Senator Keyeski is a wife, a mom to six kids, and a resident of Lodi. She enjoys spending time with her family, doing anything creative and hiking on the Ice Age State Trail.
