KENOSHA, Wis. — Kenosha County District Attorney Xavier Solis has appointed veteran prosecutor Rosa I. Delgado as Deputy District Attorney, effective Monday, Aug. 11, 2025.
Delgado brings 23 years of prosecutorial experience to the role, having joined the Kenosha County District Attorney’s Office in 2002. She has spent much of her career handling sensitive crimes, including many years as the office’s sexual assault prosecutor, where she managed some of the county’s most complex and high-profile cases.
“After six months in office, I was able to observe and witness how the office operates, as well as gain trial experience as a prosecutor,” Solis said. “I have observed how attorneys react and follow the policies and procedures I have implemented. My goal is to protect the community and hold individuals accountable, as the electorate voted me to do. I plan to carry out that goal, and Rosa as Deputy is the best choice to help achieve it.”
Solis also thanked outgoing Deputy District Attorney Andrew Burgoyne for his service, wishing him well in future endeavors.
In her new position, Delgado will help manage the daily operations of the office, oversee case assignments, and mentor assistant district attorneys and staff.

Delgado’s courtroom skill has long been recognized by those who have worked with — and against — her. In 2009, this reporter served on a jury for State v. Ryan Winningham, a case in which Delgado prosecuted a man for the hit-and-run death of a disabled bicyclist. The trial lasted from June 22 to June 26, ending in a guilty verdict. Delgado’s confident and knowledgeable approach left a strong impression, both then and now.

“She’s a great choice,” said longtime defense attorney Terry Rose. “She’s sensible, realistic, and a good attorney.”

Criminal defense attorney and author Michael D. Cicchini agreed. “As a criminal defense lawyer, I’ve been squaring off against Ms. Delgado since she arrived in Kenosha about two decades ago. I’ve always found her to be smart, hard-working, and ethical. She recognizes her dual role as a prosecutor: she’s an advocate for the state but she also respects due process. She’s a fantastic choice for Deputy District Attorney.”

Former police officer, prosecutor and current judge Richard “Dick” Ginkowski added, “Rosa is an experienced prosecutor who is passionate about standing up for victims of child and sexual assault.”

Why do you include comments from Dick Ginkowski? He is part of the corrupt underbelly of Kenosha.
Why not embrace something positive for a change? This is a good news story and already the first comment is negative.
so you could not find one person to say something negative about her? great reporting
