SPOTLIGHT RACE: Trevor Jung for WI-SD21

Trevor Jung was born in Krasnodar, Russia and adopted from an orphanage at the age of two by a fourth-generation Racinian and small business owner. Saved and raised by his dad, Scott, and supported by a loving community, Trevor is a proud graduate of Racine Unified Schools and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where he earned a degree in Urban Studies.

After college, Trevor came home—running for local office and becoming Racine’s youngest elected alderperson since 1862. He brought a fresh, results-oriented approach focused on improved service, sought out savings, and prioritized sustainability. As Director of RYDE Racine, Racine’s public transit system, Trevor manages a $10+ million annual budget and leads a team of incredible public servants. Under his leadership, transit services have become better connected to hospitals, social services, and jobs, improving access for seniors and working families alike. But, instead of the state being an ally, continued divestment sounded the alarm.

Trevor believes state government should be a tool for good: solving problems, removing barriers, and creating opportunity. Now, he’s ready to bring that same energy to Madison making families, neighborhoods, and communities the priority.
