Get to Know the 101st Wisconsin Legislature (2013-14)

from Retiring Guy's postcard collection

The 101st Wisconsin Legislature is the first to convene since redistricting was enacted by 2011 Wisconsin Act 43.   As a result, some of you -- like me -- now reside in different Senate and Assembly districts.
