Senators representing odd-numbered districts were newly elected for this session and were serving the first two years of a four-year term. Assembly members were elected to a two-year term. Assembly members and odd-numbered senators were elected in the general election of November 7, 1950. Senators representing even-numbered districts were serving the third and fourth year of a four-year term, having been elected in the general election of November 2, 1948.

The governor of Wisconsin during this entire term was Republican Walter J. Kohler Jr., of Sheboygan County, serving a two-year term, having won election in the 1950 Wisconsin gubernatorial election.

Major events

Major legislation

  • April 12, 1951: An Act ... relating to the inclusion of public employes under the Federal Old Age and Survivors Insurance System, and making an appropriation, [https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/1951/related/acts/60.pdf 1951 Act 60]. Created the Wisconsin Public Employees Social Security Fund, and made Wisconsin the first state to allow some state and local employees to be covered by Social Security.
  • July 10, 1951: An Act ... relating to civil defense, [https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/1951/related/acts/443.pdf 1951 Act 443]. Established the state office of civil defense.
  • August 17, 1951: An Act ... relating to the apportionment of assemblymen and senators, [https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/1951/related/acts/728.pdf 1951 Act 728]. This was the first full legislative redistricting of Wisconsin since 1921. This plan was the product of a nonpartisan redistricting commission, popularly referred to as the "Rosenberry Commission" for its chairman, the former Wisconsin Supreme Court chief justice Marvin B. Rosenberry. Because of a compromise, implementation of the plan was delayed until the 1954 election to allow the consideration of a constitutional amendment which would have altered redistricting rules.
