Bob's Legislative Committees

Assembly Committee on Urban Revitalization

Representative Bob Donovan is the Chairman of the newly formed Assembly Committee on Urban Revitalization for the 2025-2026 Session. Once thriving hubs of commerce, culture, and innovation, urban centers have faced significant challenges in reclaiming their former vibrancy. 

The Assembly Committee on Urban Revitalization will focus on legislation aimed at fostering economic development, addressing neighborhood decay, and enhancing public safety. By collaborating with local leaders, community organizations, and private stakeholders, the committee seeks to address issues that have hindered growth and opportunity in Wisconsin’s urban areas.

Additionally, Rep. Donovan is also a member of the following committees:

  • Committee on Local Government (Vice-Chair)
  • Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety
  • Committee on Judiciary
As an Alderman, my goal was always to make Milwaukee a better place to live and build a family. Now, in the State Assembly, I want to carry that mission forward for all urban areas across Wisconsin, ensuring that every community has the support it needs to thrive.

Rep. Donovan serves on this 15 person committee which deals with some of the most pressing issues affecting our public safety. This committee is one of the most active legislative committees in the Assembly. Bills seen in this committee include everything from traffic enforcement, policing legislation, to changing criminal penalties.
