Greta Neubauer Reelected as Wisconsin Assembly Minority Leader

Rep. Greta Neubauer (D-Racine) has been unanimously reelected as Assembly minority leader by the bolstered Assembly Democratic Caucus, following a successful election where Democrats flipped 10 Republican-held seats. This growth, attributed to new electoral maps enacted by the Republican Legislature and signed by Gov. Tony Evers, expanded the Democratic caucus from 35 to 45 members, although Republicans will maintain a 54-seat majority. Neubauer, who has led the Democrats since 2021, emphasized the importance of a 'visionary and inclusive policy agenda' and indicated that the upcoming session will present both opportunities and challenges. She won her own race with 54% of the vote against Republican challenger David DeGroot in a newly drawn district. Other legislative leaders, including Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu, were also reelected.
