The Wisconsin Legislature has introduced Assembly Joint Resolution 83, which recognizes the period from September 15 to October 15, 2025, as Hispanic Heritage Month in the state. This resolution highlights the historical presence of Hispanic and Latino communities in Wisconsin, noting their settlement prior to statehood and their significant contributions to the state's agricultural economy throughout the 20th century. Currently, over 450,000 Hispanics and Latinos reside in Wisconsin, making them one of the fastest-growing demographic groups and vital contributors to both rural and urban communities.

The resolution also acknowledges the roles of Hispanics and Latinos as public servants in various elected offices and their sacrifices in defending the United States during armed conflicts. By designating this month, the Wisconsin Legislature aims to honor and celebrate the rich cultural heritage and contributions of Hispanic and Latino individuals to the state's history and future.
