The 1848 United States House of Representatives elections in Wisconsin were held on May 8, 1848 to elect the first U.S. representatives from the newly admitted state of Wisconsin . These representatives were elected to terms that would last the remainder of the 30th Congress . Members were elected to full terms on November 7, 1848, which would begin on the upcoming 31st Congress .
Upon statehood, Wisconsin was originally delegated two districts which were both held by Democratic representatives. The state gained a third seat in the general election, leading to the opposing Whig and Free Soil parties gaining seats.
