Following the November 2022 election, the Wisconsin Legislature will have 31 new members, nearly 25 percent of its total membership. This turnover was almost entirely due to legislators retiring or seeking other offices.
Only Rep. Don Vruwink (D-Milton), who was moved into a differently numbered district due to redistricting, lost his bid for reelection. Shortly after the election, Sen. Alberta Darling (R-River Hills) retired, setting up a special election to select her replacement.
Senate
In the 33-member Senate, there will be seven new members, five Republicans and two Democrats. Senator-elect Tomczyk (R-Mosinee) will be brand new to the Legislature; the other new members currently serve or have served in the Assembly.
