Rep. Hintz to Step Down as Assembly Democratic Leader
MADISON — Today, Representative Gordon Hintz (D-Oshkosh) released the following statement regarding his decision to step down as Assembly Democratic Leader effective January 10, 2022.
“Today, I am announcing my intention to step down as Assembly Democratic Leader effective January 10, 2022. After choosing to seek another term in 2020, I was committed to serving as Assembly Democratic Leader through the 2021 state budget process and redistricting. I have been humbled and honored to lead the Assembly Democrats for the past four-plus years, but I want to have more time for my district and my family, which includes two children under the age of five.
“Most importantly, I have even more confidence and optimism about the future of the Assembly Democrats than when I stepped into this role four years ago. I’m grateful to the leadership team that I served with, and look forward to the many talented newer members ready to step up. I know that our next Leader will bring their own unique perspective and ideas as they build upon the strong foundation we have today. I look forward to continuing to serve alongside my Democratic colleagues in the Assembly as we work to charter a brighter course for the people of Wisconsin.”
