F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr., (Jim), is a Republican Member of Congress representing the Fifth Congressional District of Wisconsin. He was elected to Congress in November of 1978, after serving ten years in the Wisconsin State Legislature. Congressman Sensenbrenner was elected Chairman of the House Committee on the Judiciary beginning in the 107th Congress. He has established a strong record on crime, constitutional, and intellectual property issues as a long-serving member of the Judiciary Committee.
