Wisconsin State Representative Greta Neubauer

Despite serving in the minority party in the legislature, I work to take advantage of every opportunity to get things done for the people of Racine County, because that is what you deserve.

I am proud to have helped secure funding to clean up our drinking water and pass bills to support women’s health this session.

These policies are very important and will make a real difference in people’s lives. But I know they aren’t enough, and we have a lot of work left to do. As your representative, I will continue to show up each day to fight for every person to have the opportunity to live a good life here in Racine County.

I was honored to join the Memorial Day ceremonies in Mt. Pleasant and Racine to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our rights and freedoms.

And I always enjoy seeing friendly faces like Shawn Rivers, Racine County’s Veterans Officer, and our local electeds at our annual Memorial Day events.

Local news matters and these are important jobs. I support our local reporters as they fight for a liveable wage.

Assembly Democrats show up to work every day focused on doing right by the communities we represent. That meant each of us had to make a difficult decision this week.

While the proposed surplus plan would have provided some additional resources for districts, I do not believe that passing it was the right thing to do. It could have put our state in a very difficult financial position in only a few short years, with the potential for cuts to education, healthcare, and other essential services.

As we face economic uncertainty and chaos from the Trump administration, we have to be fiscally responsible. We must also remain committed to long term solutions for our schools and communities, like ending the cycle of referendums and funding special education at an adequate level.
