Dear Friends & Neighbors,

Welcome to my legislative website, and thank you for taking the time to connect with me. It is an honor to serve the people of the 6th Senate District. I want to hear from my constituents; your feedback is extremely important to me.

Elected to Wisconsin's 6th Senate District in 2016, I previously served in Wisconsin's 17th Assembly District since 2012. The 6th district includes residential, urban, and downtown Milwaukee, as well as the southeast part of Wauwatosa.

I am a strong advocate for workers and working families, and served as an Executive Board member for AFSCME District Council 48, President of AFSCME Local 502, and Chair of AFSCME's Women Committee. I also acted as a Financial Employment Planner for Wisconsin Shares and was a member of the Special Committee on Public Assistance Program Integrity. I am a proud graduate of the Emerge-Wisconsin Class of 2012.

I serve on the following committees during the 2023 - 2024 Legislative Session:

  • Joint Committee on Finance (Ranking Member)
  • Joint Legislative Council
  • Senate Committee on Education
  • Senate Committee on Mental Health, Substance Abuse Prevention, Children & Families (Ranking Member)

Thank you again, for visiting my legislative webpage. Please check back frequently for updates on the legislation I am working on.

Sincerely,
LaTonya Johnson
State Senator
6th Senate District
