History
editThe district was created in the 1972 redistricting act (1971 Wisc. Act 304) which first established the numbered district system, replacing the previous system which allocated districts to specific counties.[5] The 64th district was drawn from part of the former Kenosha County 1st district, which had encompassed nearly all of the city of Kenosha. The 1972 64th Assembly district was drawn from the north side of the city, the south side wards were used to create a third Kenosha County-based district (the 65th). The last representative of the Kenosha 1st district, George Molinaro, went on to win election as the first representative of the 64th Assembly district.
Other than the 1982 redistricting, which temporarily scrambled State Assembly districts, the boundaries of the 64th district remained relatively consistent for the next 40 years, confined to the wards of the north side of the city of Kenosha. That changed in the controversial 2011 redistricting plan (2011 Wisc. Act 43) which moved the district further north to straddle the boundary between Kenosha and Racine counties. This was done as part of a broader gerrymander of the southeast Wisconsin districts to pack the majority of Racine and Kenosha Democratic votes into one state senate district.[6] This map was only slightly adjusted in the 2022 court-ordered redistricting plan. The 2024 map removed all of the Racine County precincts from the district and added all of the rest of the village of Somers and more of the city of Kenosha.
Notable former representatives of this district include George Molinaro, who was the 62nd speaker of the Wisconsin State Assembly, and Peter W. Barca, a one-time U.S. representative (WI-01) and former secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Revenue.
