Mopping Up Wisconsin's Map Mess
When Wisconsin redrew legislative district maps 10 years ago, we ended up with a splotchy, dirty mess that left a big stain on our democracy. The maps as they are now hurt all, no matter our political views.
We have work to do. Working together, we can clean up this mess. We deserve maps with districts that fairly and equitably represent the people of Wisconsin. Attend and learn how YOU can help.
Featuring Deb Patel, Rep. Deb Andraca, Mel Barnes, and Carlene Bechen.
