Gretel Enck for U.S. Representative District 23
Gretel’s commitment to public service began long before her 25 years with the National Park Service. She grew up in rural New York in a family that valued hard work, honesty, and community. Her parents were first-generation college graduates who had been raised on modest farms, and they carried those lessons of self-reliance, neighborliness, and respect for the land into their own household. Gretel spent her childhood surrounded by forests, horses, wood-cutting weekends, and the rhythm of rural life. She learned responsibility by helping with chores, caring for animals, and watching her family make the land productive. Those experiences built her love for the outdoors, her belief in people, and her understanding of how deeply communities rely on their environment. In early 2025, after 25 years of government service, Gretel accepted an early retirement through DOGE.
