A bolstered Assembly Democratic Caucus voted unanimously Tuesday to elect Rep. Greta Neubauer (D-Racine) to another term as Assembly minority leader. Her continued leadership was confirmed after Democrats gained 10 additional seats in the Assembly this year.

New electoral maps passed by the Republican Legislature and signed by Gov. Tony Evers gave Democrats the chance to compete for more seats in newly competitive districts this November. While Assembly Republicans will hold a 54-seat majority next year, Assembly Democrats grew their caucus from 35 members to 45 members. 

Neubauer has served as the leader of Assembly Democrats since 2021. She was first elected to the Assembly in 2018. 

“Our caucus will return to the Assembly floor in January with ten new members — the largest increase in membership in one election in more than 50 years. The next session will present us with new opportunities and new challenges, and our work is cut out for us,” Neubauer said in a statement. “We will put forward a visionary and inclusive policy agenda. We will help craft a budget that works for every Wisconsinite, in every community. And we will reflect the will of the people.” 

Other leaders in the Legislature were also reelected in the last two weeks with Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester), Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu (R-Oostburg) and Senate Minority Leader Dianne Hesselbein (D-Middleton) all chosen to continue in their positions. 

Other members of Assembly Democratic leadership include: 

• Rep. Kalan Haywood (D-Milwaukee) as Assembly minority assistant leader 
• Rep. Lisa Subeck (D-Madison) as Assembly minority caucus chair 
• Rep. Clinton Anderson (D-Beloit) as Assembly minority vice-caucus chair
• Rep. Mike Bare (D-Verona) as Assembly minority caucus secretary
• Rep. Jodi Emerson (D-Eau Claire) as sergeant-at-arms
