(OSHKOSH) Today, Gordon Hintz announced he will be running for Winnebago County Executive in 2025.
Hintz served Winnebago County for 16 years in the Wisconsin State Assembly (2007-2023), including four years as the Assembly Minority Leader and three years on the Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee. He currently serves as the Director for the Wisconsin Laborers-Employers Cooperation and Education Trust, promoting issues of mutual benefit and concern to both labor and management.
“I’m running for County Executive to improve our quality of life and help create a stronger and more prosperous Winnebago County. We need to hold our leaders to high standards, and demand hard work and accountability. I am determined to meet these expectations and rebuild confidence with the public, and trust with the County Board. Whether you live in an urban, suburban, or rural community, I will be a County Executive for everyone who calls Winnebago County home.”
“I believe my experience in federal, state and local government has uniquely prepared me to be an effective administrator at the County level. My administration will prioritize quality of life initiatives, carry on the important work of providing vital human services and caring for an aging population, build upon our innovative practices in our justice system while increasing public safety, promote economic development, support expanded opportunities for housing supply and work to balance fiscal responsibility with investing in our community’s critical needs.”
“I always focused my legislative career on finding ways to positively impact our community. I maintain a keen understanding of the operational and political decision-making of government at the federal, state, and local level – and how to engage organizations and individuals.”
Prior to serving in the Legislature, Hintz served as a Management Assistant and Municipal Budget Analyst for the City of Long Beach, CA and as a Legislative Assistant to U.S. Senator Herb Kohl. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from Hamline University and a Master’s Degree in Public Administration from the La Follette School of Public Affairs at UW Madison.
