Nass at the WUSD Legislative Breakfast, February 2024
Senator Steve Nass issued the following statement announcing that he does not plan to run for reelection.
“It has been one of the greatest honors of my life to serve in the Wisconsin State Legislature representing the people of Southern Wisconsin. I have proudly fought for the taxpayers in my district with every vote that I cast for and against legislation.
I have always been bipartisan in my scorn of fiscal mismanagement and bureaucratic overreach regardless of whether the Republicans or Democrats were in charge, since the affliction of Big Government is a disease that infects both parties in Madison.
The time has come for a new fighter to take on the mission of preserving life, liberty and pursuit of happiness for the citizens of the 11th State Senate District. While the challenges are many facing the people of Wisconsin, the preservation of the American Dream in this state will prevail if each of us rises up and in unison defends our inalienable rights bestowed upon us from God.
God Bless Wisconsin and the United States of America.”
Nass graduated from Whitewater High School and earned both B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. He retired from the Wisconsin Air National Guard as a CMSgt with 33 years of service including Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
Nass served on the Whitewater Common Council from 1977-81 and was first elected to the State Assembly in 1990. A Republican, Nass has been in the State Senate since 2014. He indicated that he would retire from that body when his term expires on January 4, 2027.
Nass, age 73, represented the city of Whitewater for many years but that ended with the redistricting after the 2020 census. Now representing District 11, he still serves the LaGrange area, where he lives.
