The Sixty-Second Wisconsin Legislature convened from January 9, 1935, to September 27, 1935, in regular session.
This was the first legislative term with a formal split between Progressive and Republican caucuses. It was also the first term since the 1893–1894 term in which the Republicans controlled neither house of the Legislature.
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, 1934. 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 8, 1932.
