Thaddeus P. "Tip" McGuire (born July 1987) is an American attorney and Democratic politician from Kenosha County, Wisconsin. He is a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly, representing the 64th Assembly district since May 2019. He previously served as an assistant district attorney in Milwaukee County.[1]

## Biography[edit]

Tip McGuire was born in Somers, Wisconsin, in July 1987. He was raised and educated in southeast Wisconsin, graduating from St. Catherine's High School in Racine, Wisconsin, in 2005.[2] He went on to attend Marquette University where he earned his bachelor's degree in 2009.[3]

He got involved in politics shortly after graduation, working as a legislative aide to state representative Peter W. Barca from 2009 through 2014, and as a campaign field organizer for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin in the 2010 and 2012 elections.[3] He went to law school in 2014, and ultimately earned his J.D. from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 2017.[3]

After graduating from law school, McGuire was hired as a prosecutor in the office of the Kenosha County district attorney, and, in 2018, was hired as an assistant district attorney in Milwaukee County.[3]

After the 2018 gubernatorial election, incoming governor Tony Evers nominated McGuire's former boss, Peter Barca, to serve as secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Revenue. Barca's elevation created a vacancy in the 64th Assembly district, and, on January 22, 2019, McGuire announced that he would run for the open seat.[4]

McGuire defeated Gina Walkington and Spencer Zimmerman in the Democratic Party primary election. He defeated Republican Mark Stalker in the April 30 special election.[1]

McGuire was sworn in on May 13, 2019, by Kenosha County circuit judge Jodi Meier.[5] He went on to win election to a full term in 2020, and was re-elected in 2022.
