“I love working with the people of Racine County to build a stronger, more resilient community, and we have a lot of important work to do in the years ahead.
With new, fair legislative maps, Wisconsinites will finally have the opportunity to make their voices heard. Winning fair maps has been a top priority for me since taking office, as I saw the people of Racine and Wisconsin being silenced by the gerrymander. This fall’s elections have the ability to fundamentally shift the direction of our state.
The residents of Racine, Sturtevant, Mount Pleasant, and the surrounding areas all deserve so much more than we’ve been given by the GOP-controlled Legislature. I can’t wait for the opportunity to pass popular, commonsense policy that supports our public schools, helps working families make ends meet, and builds safer, more welcoming communities across Wisconsin. We need to address the long term challenges of housing and healthcare affordability, we need to increase the availability of childcare, and we need to tackle climate change.
I look forward to connecting with constituents new and old throughout this campaign. Thank you for your trust and your partnership in the important work of building a Wisconsin where we all can thrive. I’m excited to see what we can accomplish together in the years ahead!”
Greta Neubauer represents her home community of Racine, as well as Mt. Pleasant, Sturtevant and Elmwood Park, in the Wisconsin State 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 to Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin’s democracy. She served as a legislative aide, volunteered on a campaign and was then elected to represent the 66th District in the Assembly in early 2018.
While in the legislature, 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 organized a statewide effort to expand healthcare access, wrote policy on everything from supporting the LGBTQ+ community to addressing climate change, and continues to do all she can to deliver results for Racine County.
She has focused on restoring Wisconsin’s democracy through the fight for fair legislative maps. She knew the issues facing our communities could never be adequately addressed while legislators were not being held accountable at the ballot box. She witnessed how the Republican majority was insulated from public opinion by an extreme gerrymander in what experts described as a “democracy desert”. After many years of hard work by people across the state, Wisconsin finally won fair maps earlier this year.
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 to build a Wisconsin where we all can thrive. 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.
I believe that public education is vital to building a stronger community. Our kids deserve the best!
I believe that everyone’s work should be valued and compensated fairly, and the ability for people to collectively bargain as part of labor unions is essential.
We can create good jobs and reduce inequality while cutting our carbon footprint. We have no time left to lose.
I believe we have a duty to make sure everyone has real opportunities to live to their greatest potential, regardless of the color of their skin, who they love or which neighborhood they are from.
I believe that healthcare is a right, not a luxury, and we need to expand access for all of us. If and when to end a pregnancy is a deeply personal decision and should not be up to politicians.
We must ensure every eligible voter is able to cast their ballot and have their vote count. We must push back against politicians’ efforts to consolidate power by breaking the rules and ignoring the will of the people.
In recent years, MAGA Republicans have attacked trans youth and other marginalized groups time and again. All Wisconsinites deserve to feel welcomed and supported in the communities they call home.
