"Wisconsin's New Bipartisan Redistricting Plan Promotes Fair Representation"

Wisconsin's new legislative maps, approved by the Republican-led state legislature and signed into law by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, shift the state's Assembly and Senate districts to nearly evenly split between the two parties, potentially allowing Democrats to retake the majority of the State Assembly in November. This change could lead to more competitive contests, break Republicans' longstanding grip on the legislature, and make the legislature more representative of voters' political beliefs. The impact could include more compromise on key priorities like education and child care, as well as the potential for passing expansive policies such as marijuana legalization and Medicaid expansion.
