Notes | Northeast Wisconsin |
The 2nd Assembly district is located within Wisconsin's 1st Senate district, along with the 1st and 3rd Assembly districts.[4]
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 2nd district was drawn to combine the previous Manitowoc County 1st district (the city of Manitowoc) with municipalities of southeastern Manitowoc County which had been part of the Manitowoc County 2nd district. Donald K. Helgeson, the last representative of the Manitowoc 1st district, was defeated in the 1972 election to represent the new 2nd Assembly district.[6]
Other than the 1982 court-ordered redistricting plan which scrambled state legislative maps for one term, the location of the 2nd district has remained relatively consistent—based in northern Manitowoc County and southern Brown County.[7]
