Wisconsin's 7th congressional district is a congressional district of the United States House of Representatives in northwestern and central Wisconsin; it is the largest congressional district in the state geographically, covering 20 counties (in whole or part), for a total of 18,787 sq mi. The district contains the following counties: Ashland, Barron, Bayfield, Burnett, St. Croix, Chippewa (partial), Clark, Douglas, Florence, Forest, Iron, Jackson (partial), Juneau (partial), Langlade, Lincoln, Marathon, Monroe (partial) Oneida, Polk, Price, Rusk, Sawyer, Taylor, Vilas, Washburn and Wood (partial).

The district is currently represented by Sean Duffy, a Republican. David Obey announced his retirement in 2010, and Duffy won the seat against Democratic State Senator Julie Lassa.

While John Kerry narrowly won the district in 2004 with 51% of the vote, the 7th District swung more Democratic in 2008, giving 55.91% of the vote to Barack Obama and 42.52% to John McCain.

Agriculture is a major industry and employer in the rural 7th district.[3] This district has been a major producer of milk from cows, grains, oilseeds, dry beans, and dry peas.[4] 60% of the farmland in this district is used for crop production, another major economic stimulant.
