Current elected officials

Frank Lasee is the senator serving the 1st district. He was elected in 2010 to a four-year term. Before serving as a senator, he held an office in the State Assembly. His cousin Alan previously held the senate seat for the 1st district.^[2]

The area of the 1st Senate District contains three State Assembly Districts:^[3]

The 1st (represented by Joel Kitchens)
The 2nd (represented by Andre Jacque)
The 3rd (represented by Alvin Ott).

The district is also located within Wisconsin's 8th congressional district, which is represented by U.S. Representative Reid Ribble.^[4]^[5]

Past senators

At Wisconsin statehood, the Senate had only 19 districts. The 1st District consisted of Brown, Calumet, Manitowoc and Sheboygan counties.^[6] It elected:

Harrison C. Hobart, 1848; a Democrat from Sheboygan
Lemuel Goodell, 1849-1850; a Democrat from Stockbridge
Theodore Conkey, 1851-1852; a Democrat from Appleton

For the 1853 session, the Senate was expanded to 25 members, and the 1st District lost Brown County. The new District elected:

Horatio N. Smith, 1853-1854; a Democrat from Sheboygan
David Taylor, 1855-1856; a Republican from Sheboygan
Elijah Fox Cook, 1857-1858; a Republican from Sheboygan

For the 1859 session, the Senate was again expanded, to 30 members, and the District was reduced to Sheboygan County alone (the rest of the district became the new 19th District); the new 1st District elected:

Robert H. Hotchkiss, 1859-1860; a Democrat from Plymouth
Luther H. Cary, 1861-1862; a Republican from Greenbush

As of 1862, the Senate expanded to 33 seats, a size it would retain well into the 21st century; the 1st District remained unchanged. It elected:

John E. Thomas, 1863-1864; a Democrat from Sheboygan Falls
John A. Bentley, 1865-1866; elected on the National Union ticket with Abraham Lincoln (a Republican) and Andrew Johnson (a Democrat), from Sheboygan

Robert H. Hotchkiss, 1868, returned to his old seat from Plymouth
David Taylor, 1869-1870, returned to his old seat from Sheboygan

Patrick H. O'Rourk (or O'Rourke), 1873-1874; a Democrat from Lyndon
Enos Eastman, 1875-1876; a Democrat from Plymouth

The Senate was totally redistricted in 1876; Sheboygan County was now part of the 20th Senate District (along with part of Fond du Lac County). The new 1st District was made up of Door Kewaunee, Oconto and Shawano counties, which had previously been part of the 2nd and 8th Districts. This completely new district elected:
