Garey Bies (born 1946) is a Republican Party member of the Wisconsin State Assembly, representing the 1st Assembly District since 2000. He serves as a member of the committees on Natural Resources, Tourism, Recreation, and State Property; Transportation, Veterans and Military Affairs, and as the chair of the Committee on Corrections and Courts.[1]

Bies was born in Manitowoc, graduated from Lincoln High School, and later earned an associates degree from Northeast Technical College.[2] He served in the Navy for five years and worked in law enforcement for 30 years, retiring as chief deputy sheriff of Door County.[2][3] He is seeking his 7th term in the Assembly and is running against Democrat Patrick Veeser.[3]

Bies has deplored what he sees as the one-sided lack of civility exhibited by Democrats during the 2011-2012 Assembly sessions.[3] He voted for tax cuts for businesses to attract new businesses to Wisconsin and to encourage the expansion of existing businesses.[3] He believes that the purpose of government is to "lay the rules down to protect the people".[3]
