The 2024 Wisconsin State Assembly election was held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, alongside alongside elections for the State Senate. All 99 seats in the Wisconsin State Assembly were up for election. The primary election was held on August 13, 2024. The filing deadline to appear on the ballot was June 3, 2024.[1]
Prior to the election, 64 Assembly seats were held by Republicans, 34 seats were held by Democrats, with one seat, formerly held by a Democrat, vacant. The race for chamber control was considered far more competitive in this cycle than at any point in the past decade. Following the 2023 Wisconsin Supreme Court election, the newly-seated liberal majority on the court ordered the drawing of new legislative districts. Many saw the implementation of new maps as undoing one of the most egregious gerrymanders in the entire country. Bolstered by the new competitiveness, both parties ran candidates in more Assembly seats than normal and spent heavily on the races.
Aided by the new districts, Democrats gained 10 seats from the Republicans. They failed to win a majority, but they won their largest seat share in the Assembly since before the 2010 elections. Elected members took office on January 6, 2025, with Republicans entering the 107th Wisconsin Legislature with a reduced majority of 54 out of 99 seats.
