The 28th District of the Wisconsin Senate is located in South-eastern Wisconsin, and is currently composed of parts of Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Walworth counties. During the late 19th and early 20th century, it was located around Richland County, Wisconsin and neighboring counties.
Dave Craig is the senator serving the 28th district. He was first to the State Senate in November 2016. Before serving as a senator, he held an office in the State Assembly.
The area of the 28th Senate District contains three State Assembly Districts:
The district is also located within Wisconsin's 1st congressional district, which is represented by U.S. Representative Paul Ryan.
The boundaries of districts have changed over history. Previous politicians of a specific numbered district often represented a different geographic area, due to redistricting.
The 28th District was created in 1856, when the Senate was expanded from 25 to 30 members. At that time, it consisted of Burnett, Chippewa, Clark, Dallas (later renamed Barron), Douglas, Dunn County, La Pointe (later renamed Bayfield), Pepin, Pierce, Polk, and St. Croix Counties.
