Each Wisconsin State Senate district is composed of three State Assembly districts. The 10th Senate district comprises the 28th, 29th, and 30th Assembly districts. The current representatives of those districts are:
Most of the 10th Senate district falls within Wisconsin's 3rd congressional district, which is represented by U.S. Representative Derrick Van Orden.[4] The part of the district in St. Croix County falls within Wisconsin's 7th congressional district, represented by Tom Tiffany.[5]
Note: the boundaries of districts have changed repeatedly over history. Previous politicians of a specific numbered district have represented a completely different geographic area, due to redistricting.
