The One Hundred Fourth Wisconsin Legislature convened from January 7, 2019, to January 4, 2021, in regular session, though it adjourned for legislative activity on May 13, 2020. The Legislature also held two extraordinary sessions and six special sessions during the legislative term.

The second year of this legislature was significantly impacted by the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic in Wisconsin.

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 6, 2018.[1] Senators representing even-numbered districts were serving the third and fourth year of their four-year term, having been elected in the general election held on November 8, 2016.[2]

The governor of Wisconsin during this entire term was Democrat Tony Evers, of Dane County, serving the first two years of a four-year term, having won election in the 2018 Wisconsin gubernatorial election.
