MADISON, Wis. — Earlier this month, the Wisconsin Legislative LGBTQ+ Caucus convened for the first time in the 107th Wisconsin Legislature with more than double the membership of previous legislative sessions. Senator Mark Spreitzer (D-Beloit) and Representative Christian Phelps (D-Eau Claire) were unanimously elected Chair and Vice-Chair, respectively. The members of the 2025-2026 Legislative LGBTQ+ Caucus are:
The Wisconsin Legislative LGBTQ+ Caucus released the following statement:
“As the Wisconsin Legislative LGBTQ+ Caucus, we will work to promote equality in our state, support our vibrant and growing LGBTQ+ community, fight back against harmful and divisive actions, and introduce visionary legislation that will move our state forward. “Already this legislative session we have seen anti-LGBTQ+ legislation proposed by Wisconsin Republicans to ban Pride flags at government buildings, national legal threats to rights we have already won, and federal Executive Orders that attempt to erase the existence of parts of our community. No matter what, we will continue to work with our allies, like Governor Evers, to make sure that no anti-LGBTQ+ legislation becomes law in Wisconsin. “Our message to LGBTQ+ Wisconsinites is simple: you belong here—and we will fight for you.” Members of the Wisconsin Legislative LGBTQ+ Caucus must be a legislator in the Wisconsin State Senate or Wisconsin State Assembly, must be an out member of the LGBTQ+ community, and must not cosponsor or vote in favor of bills or administrative rules that directly or negatively impact the LGBTQ+ community. |
