NotesCentral Wisconsin

The 14th Senate district of Wisconsin is one of 33 districts in the Wisconsin Senate.[1] Located in central Wisconsin, the district comprises all of Richland and Sauk counties, along with most of Columbia County and parts of southern Adams County, southern Juneau County, and northern Dane County. It contains the cities of Baraboo, Columbus, Portage, Reedsburg, Richland Center, and Wisconsin Dells, and the villages of DeForest, Lake Delton, Poynette, Prairie du Sac, and Sauk City, and part of the city of Madison. The district also contains landmarks such as Devil's Lake State Park, Dane County Regional Airport, Mirror Lake State Park, Lake Wisconsin and the Kilbourn Dam.[2]

Current elected officials

[edit]

Joan Ballweg is the senator representing the 14th district. She was first elected in the 2020 general election. Before serving as a senator, she was a member of the State Assembly from 2015 to 2021.[3] After the 2024 redistricting, Ballweg no longer resides in the new district.

Each Wisconsin State Senate district is composed of three Wisconsin State Assembly districts. The 14th Senate district comprises the 40th, 41st, and 42nd Assembly districts. The current representatives of those districts are:[4]

The 14th Senate district crosses five congressional districts. The portion of the district within Waupaca and Outagamie counties falls within Wisconsin's 8th congressional district, which is represented by U.S. Representative Mike Gallagher; the portion of the district in Adams County is within Wisconsin's 3rd congressional district, represented by U.S. Representative Ron Kind; the portions of the district in Dane and Sauk counties are within Wisconsin's 2nd congressional district, represented by U.S. Representative Mark Pocan; the counties of Columbia, Waushara, Green Lake, and Marquette, as well as the northern part of Dodge County are within Wisconsin's 6th congressional district, represented by U.S. Representative Glenn Grothman; the last piece of the district, the town of Calamus, in Dodge County, falls within Wisconsin's 5th congressional district, represented by Scott L. Fitzgerald.[5]
