Isaia is lifelong Madisonian, a public policy professional, and the grandchild of immigrants. He spent his formative years on Madison’s East side, where he was taught the value of collective action against unjust systems.
14 years ago, at the age of 13 years old, Isaia stood with his public school teachers and other public servants in protest against Act 10. Since then, Isaia has graduated from Madison East High School and earned a degree in Political Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Isaia has worked in the Assembly for 6 years, and now works in Assembly Democratic Leadership where he helps craft policy to move Wisconsin forward. From finding ways to invest in housing to making healthcare more affordable, Isaia has the experience to make Wisconsin a better place for working families. He has worked with a diverse array of Democratic representatives, knocked doors for Assembly & Senate candidates around the state, and helped create the opportunity we have in 2026 to retake the majority in the Wisconsin State Legislature.
Isaia is also a proud member of 350 Wisconsin’s Board of Directors and the SASY Neighborhood Association. He is also a member of the Dane County Democratic Party, and the Madison Area Democratic Socialists of America.
