Gordon Hintz
Gordon N. Hintz (born November 29, 1973) is an American public administrator and Democratic politician from Oshkosh, Wisconsin. He is the county executive of Winnebago County, Wisconsin, since April 2025. He previously represented the Oshkosh area for eight terms in the Wisconsin State Assembly (2007–2023), and was Assembly minority leader from 2017 through 2021.
His father, Stephen Hintz, was mayor of Oshkosh from 2002 to 2004.
Hintz was born and raised in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, graduating from Oshkosh North High School in 1992. He obtained a B.A. from Hamline University, in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and went on to earn his Masters of Public Administration from the Robert M. La Follette School of Public Affairs at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Prior to serving in the Legislature, Hintz worked in government at the federal, state, and local levels. Hintz worked on the 1996 U.S. Senate campaign of Paul Wellstone before going to work for U.S. Senator Herb Kohl and former U.S. Representative Jay W. Johnson as a Legislative Staff Assistant in Washington, D.C. Hintz also served as a research assistant for Governor Tommy Thompson's Commission on State and Local Partnerships for the 21st Century (Kettl Commission) and worked as a management assistant and budget analyst for the City of Long Beach, California.
Hintz first ran for the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2004, and lost. In 2006 Hintz made another attempt, this time winning the open seat.
In September 2017, after 10 years in the Assembly, Hintz was elected by the Democratic caucus to serve as their next floor leader, following Representative Peter Barca's announcement that he would stand down from the role.
On March 3, 2022, he announced that he would not seek re-election.
Hintz returned to politics in 2024 when he announced he would run for county executive of Winnebago County, Wisconsin, in the Spring 2025 election, challenging incumbent executive Jon Doemel. Winnebago County sheriff John Matz also entered the race. Doemel and Hintz advanced from the February nonpartisan primary. Hintz ultimately won the election with about 53% of the vote.
