Candidate Background

Greta Neubauer represents her home community of Racine, as well as Mt. Pleasant, Sturtevant and Elmwood Park, in the Wisconsin Assembly. She is the first openly queer and youngest minority leader on record in Wisconsin. She grew up around politics, knocking on doors for Democrats at a young age and running Racine High School Students for Obama. She co-founded a national youth climate organization while at Middlebury College and went on to run the organization, supporting students to run fossil fuel divestment campaigns across the country.

Greta moved back home following the election of Donald Trump, because she understood Wisconsin’s pivotal role in securing his victory and felt a duty to bring her organizing skills to restoring our democracy. She served as a legislative aide and was then elected to represent the 66th District in the Assembly in 2018.

As a legislator, she has focused on restoring Wisconsin’s democracy through the fight for fair legislative maps. She has served on the powerful Joint Finance Committee, responsible for crafting the state budget, the Governor's Task Force on Climate Change and the Mayor's Task Force on Police Reform. She has written policy on everything from supporting the LGBTQ+ community to addressing climate change, and done all she can to deliver results for Racine County.

Greta was unanimously elected by her colleagues to serve as Minority Leader in January of 2022. In this role, she coordinates the strategy for the Assembly Democrats and works with partners across the state. She also leads the Assembly Democratic Campaign Committee, which successfully prevented a Republican supermajority in the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2022, maintaining Governor Evers' veto power. With fair maps in place for the upcoming elections, she is working to win the first Democratic Assembly majority in Wisconsin in well over a decade.
