Wisconsin State Representative Neubauer, a Democrat from Racine and minority Democrat leader in the Wisconsin State Assembly is in hot water for making a alleged false claim to Capitol Police that State Representative Ortiz-Velez from Milwaukee had made a gun threat, which caused Amanda Jorgenson, the director of the Legislature's Human Resources Office to mistakenly and temporarily ban Ortiz-Velez from entering the state Capitol. Once, the Capitol Police investigation confirmed that Neubauer alleged accusation against Ortiz-Velez was not credible (false), and informing the majority House speaker's office, Ortiz-Velez's ban to enter the state Capitol was lifted (rescinded), and the Legislature's Human Resources Office admitted an error had occurred.

Madison, Wisconsin - On Thursday, Jessica McBribe from Wisconsin Right Now, a consecutive website reported in her personal social media (Facebook) account that the Republican House Speaker Robin Vos' Office confirmed that Wisconsin State Representative Greta Neubauer (D-Racine), the Democrat minority leader in the State Assembly claim that State Representative Sylvia Ortiz-Velez (D-Milw) had made a gun threat was not credible.
According to an email from the majority Republican House leader's office to Wisconsin Right Now, it read, "Human Resources made the decision in error and it shouldn't have happened. We will discuss internal policies moving forward to make sure this doesn't happen again. Rep. Neubauer reported it to the Capitol Police who found it not to be credible," Luke Wolff, spokesman for Vos, wrote in a statement emailed to Wisconsin Right Now on September 4, according to McBribe.
Rep. Ortiz-Velez acquired an attorney and Rep. Neubauer could be facing legal action for making an alleged false claim with Capitol Police against Ortiz-Velez.
Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) has learned that Democrats in Milwaukee began to circulate a candidate search to replace Ortiz-Velez, according to sources in the Southside of Milwaukee. Also, Maxell Love and Deisy España in their Facebook accounts posted that someone should run against Ortiz-Velez.
Rep. Ortiz-Velez says, that she planned to give testimony in a hearing at the Capitol against Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley in regards to his alleged abusive power of enacting frivolous executive orders during the 2021 COVID-19 pandemic in Milwaukee County, which County Supervisors weren't to happy.

Ortiz-Velez told McBribe in a short video interview that Neubauer and other Democrat Caucus members retaliated against her because she was going to testify against Crowley. (Video interview at link): https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1B2eP9bPck/)
HNNUSA also learned that a majority of Democrats in the State Assembly will not support Wisconsin Lt. Governor Sara Rodriguez (D) for governor who announced her candidacy shortly after Governor Tony Evers (D) announced he would not seek another term, and most Dems will allegedly support Crowley for governor. Governor Evers hasn't endorsed Lt. Governor Rodriguez for governor.
Crowley, who is Black is considering to run for Wisconsin governor as a Democrat.
