A lifelong Milwaukeean, JoCasta Zamarripa made history as the first Latina and first openly bisexual member of both the Wisconsin Legislature and the Milwaukee Common Council. She served about a decade in the State Assembly and now represents Milwaukee’s 8th District as Alderperson, focusing on affordable housing and community development. She is running for Secretary of State to fully fund public schools, deliver housing relief for working families, and expand access to affordable child care.

JoCasta Zamarripa is a lifelong Milwaukeean, a proud daughter of the city’s south side, and a dedicated public servant who’s never stopped fighting for working people. Born and raised in the very neighborhoods she now represents, JoCasta has spent her life pushing for progress that reflects the realities of everyday Wisconsinites.

JoCasta is running as a Democrat for Wisconsin Secretary of State to use the platform to fight for what matters: more funding for our schools so families aren’t forced into referenda every election, real housing relief for working people, and affordable child care that lets parents breathe.
