Wisconsin's 54th Assembly District
As I am sure many of you are aware, the Wisconsin Legislature has passed new legislative maps under 2023 Wisconsin Act 94. This changes the district lines of the 54th Assembly District as you can see in the image to the left.
I have included a link to view the new 54th District as a PDF and also a link to the "find your legislator" page on the Wisconsin legislature website. This will allow you to easily look up which assembly district you will be in during the next election cycle.
