The 92nd Assembly district is located within Wisconsin's 31st Senate district, along with the 91st and 93rd Assembly districts. [5]

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. [6] Under the 1972 plan, the core of the new 92nd district was Monroe County, which was its own district under the previous maps. The district contained nearly all of Monroe County, but stretched east into central Juneau County and north through all of eastern Jackson County and parts of southern Clark County. The last representative of the Monroe County district, Robert Quackenbush, was elected in 1972 as the first representative of the 92nd Assembly district.

Under the 1982 court-ordered redistricting plan, the district was briefly moved to central Wisconsin, comprising all of Columbia County and parts of eastern Sauk County and western Dodge County. The 1983 redistricting act brought the 92nd back to its previous location with a different configuration, making Jackson County the core of the district and including the northern half of Monroe County and parts of southwest Clark County and northeast Eau Claire County. The 1992 court-ordered redistricting plan shifted the district south again, restoring most of Monroe County to the district, while keeping most of Jackson County and part of southeast Eau Claire County. The 2002 court-ordered redistricting plan shifted north again, removing the southern half of Monroe County, expanding into more of southeastern Eau Claire County, and adding back part of southern Clark County. The 2011 redistricting act (2011 Wisc. Act 43) removed all of Monroe County and shifted the district west, comprising central and western Jackson County along with most of Trempealeau and Buffalo counties. This configuration was mostly preserved in the 2022 court-ordered redistricting, which removed central Jackson County, added the rest of Buffalo and Trempealeau counties, and added parts of Pepin County and southern Eau Claire County.

The 2024 redistricting (2023 Wisc. Act 94) moved the district to Dunn and Chippewa County, comprising the cities of Menomonie and Chippewa Falls, and part of the north side of the city of Eau Claire. Under the new map configuration, the 92nd Assembly district is projected to be one of the most competitive districts in the state legislature.
