Quick Facts Wisconsin's 42nd State Assembly district, Assemblymember ...

The 42nd Assembly district is located within Wisconsin's 14th Senate district, along with the 40th and 41st Assembly districts.[4]

History

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 42nd district was drawn roughly in line with the boundaries of the previous Outagamie County 1st district (almost all of the city of Appleton).

The 42nd district boundaries have shifted significantly over the various redistrictings of the state, but the location of the district has remained consistent in south-central Wisconsin since the 1983 redistricting.
