Each Wisconsin State Senate district is composed of three Wisconsin State Assembly districts. The 13th Senate district comprises the 37th, 38th, and 39th Assembly districts. The current representatives of those districts are:[5]
- Assembly District 37: William Penterman (R–Columbus)
- Assembly District 38: Barbara Dittrich (R–Oconomowoc)
- Assembly District 39: Mark Born (R–Beaver Dam)
The 13th Senate district, in its current borders, crosses three different congressional districts. The portion of the district in Dane County falls within Wisconsin's 2nd congressional district, represented by U.S. Representative Mark Pocan; the portions within Columbia County and northern Dodge County are within Wisconsin's 6th congressional district, represented by U.S. Representative Glenn Grothman; the remainder of the district in Dodge, Jefferson, Washington, and Waukesha counties, falls within Wisconsin's 5th congressional district, represented by U.S. Representative Scott L. Fitzgerald.[6]
