Her departure signifies the conclusion of an impactful period in public service, marked by her unwavering dedication to the community and the improvement of Wisconsin.

Following a meaningful career in nursing, Gae Magnafici ventured into politics in 2018, driven by a strong desire to further serve her community. Her campaign, centered on the pillars of reducing healthcare costs and diminishing taxes for her constituents, found widespread resonance, leading to her role as a representative for the people of Northwest Wisconsin.

As I prepare to leave public office, my dedication to this community does not waver. I am immensely thankful for the trust and support extended to me over the years and am optimistic about the future prosperity and growth of our great state.”

It’s a lesson I will carry into retirement as I continue to advocate for policies that empower individuals and ensure our community thrives on the principles of liberty and self-determination.”

As Representative Magnafici transitions into retirement, she looks forward to dedicating more time to her family and seeking new ways to contribute to her community, leaving behind a legacy of service that will continue to inspire future generations of leaders.
