The 1st Assembly district of Wisconsin is one of 99 districts in the Wisconsin State Assembly.[1] Located in northeastern Wisconsin, the district comprises all of Door and Kewaunee counties, as well as portions of northeast Brown County.[2] The district is represented by Republican Joel Kitchens, since January 2015.[3]
The 1st Assembly district is located within Wisconsin's 1st Senate district, along with the 2nd and 3rd Assembly districts.[4]
History
[edit]The district was created in the 1972 redistricting act (1971 Wisc. Act 304) which first established the numbered district system, replacing the previous system which allocated districts to specific counties.[5] The 1st district was drawn roughly in line with the boundaries of the previous Door–Kewaunee district; the last representative of that district, Lary J. Swoboda, continued as the representative of the 1st district after the 1972 election.[6] The 1st district boundaries have remained relatively consistent in redistricting since 1972, with the major exception of the 1982 court-ordered redistricting, which scrambled all State Assembly districts and moved the 1st district to Milwaukee County for the 1983–1984 legislative session.[7]
