Todd D. Novak (born April 23, 1965) is an American newspaper editor and politician.

Born in Cobb, Wisconsin and currently residing in Dodgeville, Wisconsin, Novak was the government and assistant editor of the Dodgeville Chronicle newspaper from 1990 until his retirement in 2014. In 2012, Novak was elected mayor of Dodgeville, Wisconsin.[1]

In November 2014, Novak was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly as a Republican by a 64-vote margin. The Democratic candidate, Dick Cates, did not seek a recount.[2]

On November 8, 2016, Novak was re-elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly by a margin of 723 votes, defeating Democrat Jeff Wright.[3]

In 2018, Novak defeated Jeff Wright for a second time. Novak was also successful in winning an Assembly District also won by Democratic Governor Tony Evers.

Novak is the first openly gay Republican to serve in the Wisconsin state legislature.[4] On taking office, became one of four openly LGBT members of the Wisconsin State Legislature, alongside Sen. Tim Carpenter (D–Milwaukee) and Reps. JoCasta Zamarripa (D–Milwaukee) and Mark Spreitzer (D–Beloit).

Although a Republican, Novak has positioned himself as an "independent voice" and has touted a bipartisan voting record, which is helpful in his liberal-learning district.[5]

Wisconsin State Assembly

For the 2017-2018 Legislative Cycle, Novak serves on the following committees[6]

  • Assembly Committee on Local Government (Chair)
  • Assembly Committee on Agriculture (Vice Chair)
  • Assembly Committee on Criminal Justice & Public Safety
  • Assembly Committee on Local Government
  • Assembly Committee on Mental Health
  • Assembly Committee on Rural Development & Mining
  • Assembly Committee on Environment

In his inaugural term in the State Assembly, Novak authored a bill creating the Frank Lloyd Wright Trail which links the architects notable creations using existing roadways.[7]
