Madison— A member of a powerful conservative foundation, Milwaukee Archbishop Jerome Listecki and a prominent Latino commentator have all been named to Gov. Scott Walker's new commission on the family.

The Future of the Family Commission will present recommendations to the Republican governor in December. Walker said he hoped the 10-person panel would find ways to help successful families as well as those facing challenges or breakdowns.

"If we have strong families, there's almost no challenge we can't face," Walker said.

The commission's chairwoman is Department of Children and Families Secretary Eloise Anderson, who has held that post since 2011. Walker appointed Anderson to the post, and she in turn appointed the other members.

Besides Listecki and Anderson, other members include: Sarah Campbell, a board member of the Wisconsin Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics; Delvyn Crawford, a specialist in engaging fathers; Rachel Campos-Duffy, a spokeswoman for The LIBRE Initiative and former reality television star who is also the wife of U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Wis.) and the mother of seven children; Mikel Holt, president of Malik Communications; Jim Kacmarcik, president of Kapco Inc.; Alicia Manning, director of new citizenship programs for the conservative Lynde and Harris Bradley Foundation; Jeff Pralle, the director of Legal Affairs for the Wisconsin Apartment Association; and Emetia Riddle-Williams, a case manager for the Salvation Army of Beloit.
