==History==
The 32nd district was created in 1861 after the [[1860 United States census]], when the State Senate was expanded from 30 to 33 members. The first to represent the district was [[M. D. Bartlett]], a [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] from [[Durand, Wisconsin|Durand]] who served in the 1862 and 1863 sessions. At that time, the district consisted of [[Buffalo County, Wisconsin|Buffalo]], [[Chippewa County, Wisconsin|Chippewa]], [[Clark County, Wisconsin|Clark]], [[Dunn County, Wisconsin|Dunn]], [[Eau Claire, Wisconsin|Eau Claire]], [[Jackson County, Wisconsin|Jackson]], [[Pepin County, Wisconsin|Pepin]] and [[Trempealeau County, Wisconsin|Trempealeau]] Counties.

Wisconsin's 32nd Senate district is one of 33 districts in the Wisconsin Senate.[1] Located in western Wisconsin, the district comprises all of La Crosse County and nearly all of Vernon County, along with parts of southwest Monroe County and southeast Trempealeau County. It includes the cities of La Crosse, Onalaska, Sparta, and Viroqua.[2]

Current elected officials

[edit]

Brad Pfaff is the current senator representing the 32nd district. He was elected in the 2020 general election. Before his election as senator, he served nearly two years as Acting Secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.[3]

Each Wisconsin State Senate district is composed of three Wisconsin State Assembly districts. The 32nd Senate district comprises the 94th, 95th, and 96th Assembly districts. The current representatives of those districts are:

The district is located entirely within Wisconsin's 3rd congressional district, which is represented by U.S. Representative Derrick Van Orden.[4]

History

[edit]

The 32nd district was created in 1861 after the 1860 United States census, when the State Senate was expanded from 30 to 33 members. The first to represent the district was M. D. Bartlett, a Republican from Durand who served in the 1862 and 1863 sessions. At that time, the district consisted of Buffalo, Chippewa, Clark, Dunn, Eau Claire, Jackson, Pepin and Trempealeau Counties.
