Rep. Hintz Named to Best Legislator List
MADISON– Rep. Gordon Hintz (D-Oshkosh) was named as one of the best legislators in Wisconsin in the February issue of Milwaukee Magazine.
Milwaukee Magazine released their annual survey results of Wisconsin’s state legislators. Representative Hintz was selected as one of the top 9 out of 132 legislators to receive this honor.
In selecting the “best legislators” Milwaukee Magazine solicited in-depth and anonymous comments of Capitol observers including staffers, lobbyists and reporters. Participants were asked to grade lawmakers on the basis of vision, savviness, influence, work ethic, brains and integrity. According to Milwaukee Magazine’s survey,
“Another surprise winner, Hintz, only 35 and in his second term, is steeped in governmental experience as both a former legislative and congressional staffer, a political science instructor at UW-Oshkosh and a budget analyst for the city of Long Beach, Calif. Observers from both parties call Hintz a rising star with statewide potential.
Says a conservative lobbyist: “He asks good questions and he’s willing to change his view in response to new information. Even if he disagrees with a group, he’ll take a look at their arguments. That’s remarkable in this day and age.”
Says a former lawmaker: “Hintz became a leader after just one term. He’s bright, hard-working and willing to take the time to learn complex issues.”
“I am committed to serving the citizens of the 54th District and take my role as a legislator very seriously,” said Rep. Hintz. “I am very proud to be recognized for my work as I enter my second term. During this challenging economic time I look forward to rolling up my sleeves, collaborating with my colleagues and making Wisconsin an even better place to live and work for future generations.”
