The 29th Senate District of Wisconsin is one of 33 districts in the Wisconsin State Senate.[3] Located in north-central Wisconsin, the district comprises all of Rusk, and Taylor counties, along with most of Sawyer and Marathon counties, and parts of northwest Clark County and northern Wood County. The district includes the city of Wausau and part of the city of Marshfield, but is otherwise very rural.[4]
Current elected officials[]
Jerry Petrowski is the senator representing the 29th district. He was first elected in a 2012 special election, and is now serving his third full term.[5]

- Assembly District 86: John Spiros (R–Marshfield)[7]
