The1st Senate district ofWisconsin is one of 33 districts in theWisconsin Senate.[1] Located in northeast Wisconsin, the district comprises all ofDoor andKewaunee counties, as well as nearly all ofCalumet County, much of northern and westernManitowoc County and eastern and southernBrown County, along with parts of southwestOutagamie County. It includes the cities ofSturgeon Bay andChilton and parts of the cities ofAppleton,Menasha, andGreen Bay.[2]
André Jacque is the senator representing the 1st district. He was first elected in the 2018 general election,[3] after losing an earlier bid for the seat in a June 2018 special election.[4] He previously served 8 years in theWisconsin State Assembly, representing the 2nd Assembly district.[5]
Each Wisconsin State Senate district is composed of threeWisconsin State Assembly districts. The 1st Senate district comprises the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Assembly districts. The current representatives of those districts are:
Most of the district is located withinWisconsin's 8th congressional district, which is represented by U.S. RepresentativeTony Wied.[6] The portion of the district in Manitowoc County falls withinWisconsin's 6th congressional district, represented byGlenn Grothman.
At Wisconsin statehood, the Senate had only 19 districts. The 1st District consisted ofBrown,Calumet,Manitowoc andSheboygancounties.[7]
For the 1853 session, the Senate was expanded to 25 members, and the 1st District lost Brown County.
For the 1857 session, the Senate was again expanded, to 30 members, and the District was reduced to Sheboygan County alone (the rest of the district became the new19th District).
As of 1862, the Senate expanded to 33 seats, a size it would retain well into the 21st century; the 1st District remained unchanged.
The Senate was totally redistricted in 1876; Sheboygan County was now part of the20th Senate District (along with part ofFond du Lac County). The new 1st District was made up ofDoor,Kewaunee,Oconto andShawano counties, which had previously been part of the2nd and8th Districts.
Kewaunee and Shawano counties were removed from the district in 1888. Kewaunee was later re-added and Oconto removed in 1892—this district remained consistent for thirty years.
In 1922, the district moved to roughly its present boundaries when Marinette was removed and Manitowoc county was re-added. This district was stable for fifty years.
From 1972 to 2012 the district had been edited 6 times adding and removing small portions of Brown, Calumet,Fond du Lac, Manitowoc, andOutagamie counties.
