Greta Neubauer

Gretchen Stephens "Greta" Neubauer (/ˈnuːbaʊər/ NOO-bow-ər; born September 13, 1991) is an American Democratic politician from Racine, Wisconsin.

After graduating from Middlebury College in Vermont with a degree in history, Neubauer became director of the nonprofit Fossil Fuel Divestment Student Network (now the Sunrise Movement), focusing on environmental issues.

During her time with Mason, Neubauer worked closely with him on the state budget and had a front row seat to the debate on the $2.85 billion incentive package to bring Foxconn to Racine County.

[2] In November 2017, Mason won a special election to become mayor of Racine and announced he would resign his seat in the Wisconsin State Assembly.

[2] She faced a contested primary for the Democratic Party nomination against first-term Racine alderman John Tate II.

This was also a particularly important time for the work of that committee as the state experienced an influx of federal money from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.

As minority leader in the Assembly, Neubauer made it a priority to protect the governor's vetoes—that meant holding her caucus united against all veto override votes; it also meant carefully coordinating schedules and absences to avoid a surprise veto override when Democratic members were unavailable for floor votes.

[16] Neubauer faced a serious general election challenge in 2024 from Mount Pleasant village president David DeGroot, who has been one of the leading proponents of the Foxconn in Wisconsin project.

Jeff is a prominent businessman in Racine, a former member of the State Assembly, and former chairman of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.
