State Rep. Gordon Hintz (D-Oshkosh) announced on Thursday that he will not be seeking re-election to represent the 54th State Assembly District.

Hintz has served in the Assembly since 2006. He served as Minority Leader from October 2017 until January of this year, when he stepped down and was succeeded by Rep. Greta Neubauer (D-Racine). He also served on the Joint Finance Committee during the 2015-16 and 2017-18 legislative sessions.

“It has been a great honor to represent the people of Oshkosh in the Wisconsin State Assembly the past 15 years. As someone born and raised in Oshkosh, a product of Oshkosh public schools, who shared his parents’ interest in public service, the job has been a thrilling and incredibly rewarding experience,” he said in his press release.

Hintz is the twelfth member of the Assembly to announce that they will either retire or seek another public office.
