Lisa Subeck

Lisa B. Subeck (born June 17, 1971) is an American political organizer and Democratic politician from Madison, Wisconsin.

She was defeated by Jed Sanborn, who was one of a number of Democratic Party candidates backed by a coalition of realty and development interests.

In 2009, she was hired as Executive Director for NARAL Pro-Choice Wisconsin, and, in 2011, she made another attempt for election to City Council.

She topped a field of five candidates in the nonpartisan primary,[6] and went on to win 58% of the vote against her general election opponent, who identified as a fiscally-conservative moderate.

[7][8][9] In 2011, Subeck and fellow Alder Matthew Phair introduced a series of budget amendments to address crime, gang and drug violence in the Southwest section of Madison.

In 2013, Subeck worked with the Mayor to lead an effort to pass new campaign finance disclosure rules that exceed what is required by state law, requiring corporations and other entities making independent expenditures to disclose not only their campaign spending but also their donors who contributed to expenditures for or against a candidate in a city election.
