John Jagler is the senator representing the 13th district. He was first elected in a 2021 special election. He previously served 8 years in the State Assembly.
Each Wisconsin State Senate district is composed of three Wisconsin State Assembly districts. The 13th Senate district comprises the 37th, 38th, and 39th Assembly districts. The current representatives of those districts are:
- Assembly District 37: Mark Born (R–Beaver Dam)
- Assembly District 38: William Penterman (R–Hustisford)
- Assembly District 39: Alex Dallman (R–Markesan)
The 13th Senate district, in its current borders, crosses three different congressional districts. The part of the district in Adams County falls within Wisconsin's 3rd congressional district, represented by U.S. Representative Derrick Van Orden. The parts of the district in Jefferson County and the southern half of Dodge County fall within Wisconsin's 5th congressional district, represented by Scott L. Fitzgerald. All of the remainder falls within Wisconsin's 6th congressional district, represented by Glenn Grothman.
