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. The 30th district was drawn mostly in line with the boundaries of the previous La Crosse 2nd district, which comprised nearly all of La Crosse County outside of the city of La Crosse. The new district also comprised most of La Crosse County and extending north into southwest Jackson County and southern Trempealeau County. The last representative of the La Crosse 2nd district, Virgil Roberts, was elected in 1972 as the first representative of the 94th Assembly district. Over the decades, the location of the 94th district has been unusually consistent through redistricting cycles, with the only serious deviation being the 1982 court-ordered plan.

The 1982 court-ordered redistricting plan briefly moved the district into western Madison, but the 1983 redistricting act restored the district to its previous region. Under the 1983 plan, most of La Crosse County was restored to the district, but the areas in Trempealeau and Jackson were not retained. Instead the district stretched east into southwestern Monroe County. The 1992 plan shrunk the Monroe County portion of the district as population growth in La Crosse County outpaced the other parts of the district. The 2002 plan removed the remaining parts of the city of La Crosse from the district and added more of the remaining towns of La Crosse County and one additional town in Monroe County. The 2011 redistricting act removed the remaining parts of Monroe County from the district and exchanged the town of Campbell for most of the remaining parts of the town of Shelby. The 2022 court-ordered redistricting removed parts of northeastern La Crosse County and parts of the town of Shelby.

The 2024 redistricting (2023 Wisc. Act 94) removed the southern half of La Crosse County and added in areas of southern Trempealeau County. The 94th Assembly district has consistently been one of the most competitive districts in the state legislature, and that is projected to continue under the new map configuration.
