Glenn S. Grothman /ˈɡroʊθmən/ (born July 3, 1955) is the Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Wisconsin's 6th congressional district. Grothman served in the Wisconsin State Assembly, representing the 58th Assembly District from 1993 until 2005, served as the vice chair of the Assembly's Republican caucus from 1999 to 2004, and as a member of the Wisconsin Senate from the 20th district from 2005-15, and Assistant Majority Leader of the Wisconsin Senate from 2011-15.
Grothman graduated from Homestead High School in Mequon, and attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison for his undergraduate degree. In 1983, he received his law degree from the University of Wisconsin Law School.
Grothman was elected to the 58th Assembly District in a special election held in December 1993. From 1999 to 2004, he was the Assembly Majority Caucus Vice Chairperson. In 2004, he challenged State Senate Majority Leader Mary Panzer in the Republican primary. He ran well to Panzer's right. He won the nomination in a rout, taking 79 percent of the vote to Panzer's 21 percent.
He was unopposed in the general election for this heavily Republican district. The district included the city of West Bend, other parts of Washington County, and parts of Fond du Lac, Dodge, Sheboygan, and Ozaukee counties. From 2007-08, he was the Senate Minority Caucus Chairperson. He has been the assistant Republican leader since 2009, serving as assistant minority leader from 2009-10, and as assistant majority leader since 2011. Grothman is a member of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).
