Robin G. "Rob" Kreibich (born June 4, 1959) is an American businessman and Republican politician from Eau Claire, Wisconsin. He is a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly, representing Wisconsin's 28th Assembly district since January 2025. He previously served 14 years in the Wisconsin State Assembly, from January 1993 until January 2007, representing Wisconsin's 93rd Assembly district.

Biography

Born in Wabasha, Minnesota, he graduated from University of Minnesota in 1982 and went to Brown Institute. He was a former television anchorman. He served in the Wisconsin State Assembly from 1993 until he was defeated for reelection in 2006 by Democrat Jeff Smith. Since leaving office, Kreibich has worked in marketing for the Marshfield Clinic and is now executive director of the New Richmond Chamber of Commerce.

In 2006, Kreibich proposed a plan to reform the University of Wisconsin System, which would guarantee Wisconsin high school graduates admission to any University of Wisconsin campus, under conditions that said students complete three years of math and science classes, graduate in the top 10% of their class, and score a 25 or higher on the ACT. The proposal was meant to ensure easier access to the UW system, but was criticized as being unlikely to make higher education more affordable.

Due to the 2024 redistricting, incumbent Republican Gae Magnafici was drawn out of her district, being left within the new 75th district. Instead of running for re-election in either the new 28th district or new 75th district, she decided to retire. On March 26, 2024, Kreibich announced he would run for the 28th Assembly district to succeed Magnafici in the 2024 Wisconsin State Assembly election. Another Republican, Brady Penfield, a student as the University of Wisconsin–River Falls, also ran for the Republican nomination. During the campaign Penfield ran to the right of Kreibich on various issues, but in the primary election, Kreibich won a narrow 45 vote victory over Penfield. He then advanced to the general election, where he defeated Democrat Danielle Johnson by a wide margin.
