This was the only legislative term under the redistricting plan imposed by the Wisconsin Supreme Court in the 2022 case Johnson v. Wisconsin Elections Commission. The district plan was a Republican remedial proposal which closely adhered to districts adopted by the Republican legislature in 2011. During this legislative term, the Wisconsin Supreme Court declared that district plan unconstitutional on technical grounds, and the legislature and governor agreed on a new redistricting plan.
Senators representing odd-numbered districts were elected for this session and served the first two years of a four-year term. Assembly members were elected to a two-year term. Assembly members and odd-numbered senators were elected in the general election of November 8, 2022.[2] Senators representing even-numbered districts were serving the third and fourth year of their four-year term, having been elected in the general election held on November 3, 2020.[3]
The governor of Wisconsin during this entire term was Democrat Tony Evers, of Dane County, serving the first two years of his second four-year term, having won re-election in the 2022 Wisconsin gubernatorial election.
