Trevor Jung: Ready to Deliver for District 21
Trevor Jung was born in Krasnodar, Russia. At age two, he was adopted from an orphanage by a fourth-generation Racinian and small business owner. Saved and raised by his dad, Scott, Trevor grew up supported by a loving community. He became a proud graduate of Racine Unified Schools. He then earned a degree in Urban Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
After college, Trevor came home and ran for local office. As a result, he became Racine’s youngest elected alderperson since 1862 — a title he still hasn’t fully lived down. He brought a fresh, results-oriented approach, focused on improved service, sought-out savings, and sustainability. Today, Trevor serves as Director of RYDE Racine, the city’s public transit system. There, he manages a $10+ million annual budget and leads a team of dedicated public servants. Under his leadership, transit services have become better connected to hospitals, social services, and jobs. As a result, access has improved for seniors and working families alike. However, instead of being an ally, the state sounded the alarm through continued divestment.
Trevor Jung 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 District 21 and Madison, making families, neighborhoods, and communities the priority.
