Wisconsin's 29th Senate district

Cory Tomczyk is the senator representing the 29th district since January 2023.^[3]

Each Wisconsin State Senate district is composed of three Wisconsin State Assembly districts. The 29th Senate district comprises the 85th, 86th, and 87th Assembly districts. The current representatives of those districts are:

• Assembly District 85: Patrick Snyder (R–Schofield)
• Assembly District 86: John Spiros (R–Marshfield)^[4]
• Assembly District 87: James W. Edming (R–Glen Flora)^[5]

The district, in its current boundaries, crosses three congressional districts. The portion of the district in Waupaca and Shawano counties falls within Wisconsin's 8th congressional district, which is represented by U.S. Representative Mike Gallagher. The portion of the district in Portage and eastern Wood counties falls within Wisconsin's 3rd congressional district, represented by Derrick Van Orden. The remainder of the district falls within Wisconsin's 7th congressional district, represented by Tom Tiffany.^[6]
