Biography

Nate Gustafson was born in Appleton, Wisconsin, and raised in the village of Fox Crossing, Wisconsin (formerly the town of Menasha). He attended public schools in the Neenah Joint School District, and went on to attend University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh, Fox Cities Campus. He ultimately received his associate's degree in cybersecurity from the Fox Valley Technical College in 2018.[1]

He has worked for a number of companies in northern Winnebago County, and is now working as an Epic analyst at NOVO Health Technology Group.[1]

Political career

Gustafson's first job in politics was serving as campaign manager for Rachael Cabral-Guevara during her first run for Wisconsin State Assembly in 2020. After her successful election, he worked for Elijah Behnke in his 2021 special election. Following that campaign, he created Winnebago County for Freedom, a volunteer organization in his community to boost conservative candidates.[1]

In the Spring 2022 election, he was elected to the Winnebago County board of supervisors.[2]

In March 2022, Cabral-Guevara announced she would run for Wisconsin State Senate that year, rather than seeking another term in the Assembly.[3] That same day, Gustafson launched his campaign to succeed Cabral-Guevara in the 55th Assembly district.[4] Gustafson faced no challengers in the Republican primary, and went on to defeat Democrat Stefanie A. Holt in the general election, receiving 54% of the vote.[5]

He assumed office in January 2023.
