The 30th Assembly district is located within Wisconsin's 10th Senate district, along with the 28th and 29th 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] The 30th district was drawn mostly in line with the boundaries of the previous Buffalo County–Pepin County–Pierce County district, exchanging part of northeast Pierce County for part of western Trempealeau County. The last representative of the Buffalo–Pepin–Pierce district, Michael P. Early, was elected in 1972 as the first representative of the 30th Assembly district.[7]

Following the 1982 court-ordered redistricting, which scrambled all State Assembly districts, the 1983 redistricting moved the 30th district back to Pierce County and southern St. Croix County, where it has remained through subsequent redistricting cycles with slight variations in boundaries.
