The Wisconsin Assembly is the lower house of the Wisconsin Legislature, which is responsible for making state laws. It consists of 99 members, each representing a specific district in the state. Assembly members are elected to two-year terms, allowing them to respond quickly to the needs of their constituents. The Assembly works alongside the upper house, known as the Wisconsin Senate, to create and pass legislation. Sessions typically begin in January, and the Assembly discusses various issues, including education, healthcare, and transportation, impacting the residents of Wisconsin.
