Greta Neubauer

Greta Neubauer (born 1991) is a Wisconsin politician. Neubauer is the member-elect for District 66 of the Wisconsin State Assembly, succeeding Cory Mason. She won the seat in the special election held on January 16, 2018. Neubauer is the daughter of former state representative Jeff Neubauer and Lisa Neubauer, a judge on the Wisconsin Court of Appeals.

Neubauer attended high school at The Prairie School in Racine, Wisconsin. As a student, she helped organize Racine High School Students for Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign. After graduating from Middlebury College in Vermont with a degree in history, Neubauer became director of the nonprofit "Fossil Fuel Divestment Student Network", focusing on environmental issues.^[1]

In August 2017, Neubauer began working as an aide in the office of Mason. Neubauer had previously worked as an intern for Mason and considered him as a mentor. During her time with Mason, Neubauer worked closely on the state budget and had a front row seat to the debate on the $2.85 billion incentive package to bring the Foxconn Technology Co. to Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin.

Upon the announcement that Mason would resign from the state Assembly effective January 15, 2018 to serve as Mayor of Racine, Neubauer declared her candidacy to fill his seat. Neubauer defeated John Tate II in the Democratic primary^[2], and no Republican candidates filed for the general election.
