Each Wisconsin State Senate district is composed of three State Assembly districts. The 11th Senate district comprises the 31st, 32nd, and 33rd Assembly districts. The current representatives of those districts are:[4]
- Assembly District 31: Ellen Schutt (R–Clinton)

The 11th Senate district is almost entirely contained within Wisconsin's 1st congressional district, which is represented by U.S. Representative Bryan Steil. The part of the district containing the northeast corner of Walworth County falls within Wisconsin's 5th congressional district, represented by Scott L. Fitzgerald.[5]
