# Wisconsin's 19th Senate district

The 19th Senate district of Wisconsin is one of 33 districts in the Wisconsin Senate. Located in central Wisconsin, the district comprises all of Waushara County, most of Winnebago County, western Outagamie County, southern Waupaca County, and part of eastern Adams County and southeast Portage County. The district also contains Lake Poygan and Hartman Creek State Park.

## Current elected officials

Rachael Cabral-Guevara is the senator representing the 19th district since January 2023. She previously served in the State Assembly, representing the 55th Assembly district from 2021 to 2023.
Each Wisconsin State Senate district is composed of three State Assembly districts. The 19th Senate district comprises the 55th, 56th, and 57th Assembly districts. The current representatives of those districts are:
* Assembly District 55: Nate Gustafson (R–Fox Crossing)
* Assembly District 56: David Murphy (R–Greenville)

The portion in Waushara and most of Winnebago County falls within Wisconsin's 6th congressional district, which is represented by U.S. Representative Glenn Grothman.
