MADISON, WI – The Wisconsin Fair Maps Coalition welcomes Gov. Evers' plan to call a special session of the Legislature to consider a constitutional amendment banning partisan gerrymandering. For years, our Coalition of organizations, grassroots leaders, and voters has fought to end gerrymandering of Wisconsin's legislative and congressional maps. 

The Coalition and the League of Women Voters Redistricting Committee have been advancing our proposal for an Independent Redistricting Commission (IRC) that will ensure fair maps for Wisconsin’s future. Why? Because Gov. Evers is right: “While we have fair [legislative] maps today, we still don’t have a nonpartisan redistricting process in place. That means there’s no guarantee Wisconsinites will still have fair maps after the next U.S. Census.” 

The Coalition hopes to see the Legislature take this matter seriously. Ending gerrymandering is an issue that resonates with voters across the state and political spectrum. »Read more

MADISON – After months of touring the state seeking public feedback on a proposal for an Independent Redistricting Commission, the Wisconsin Fair Maps Coalition is heading to the Capitol to present the proposal to legislators. 

Wisconsin has fair legislative maps now, but they’re only temporary. Without lasting legislation ahead of the 2030 Census, Wisconsinites risk going back to a system where politicians pick their voters and ignore the will of the people. 

“We need legislation now, which is why the Coalition and its volunteers took matters into our own hands and created a Wisconsin-tailored proposal,” said iuscely Flores, Organizing Director for the Coalition. “We’ve built the people-power across the state, now we’re holding legislators accountable and reminding them that they work for us.” »Read more

MADISON, WI – Under President Trump’s urging, Texas Republicans are trying to further gerrymander and lock down Congress before 2026. It's the latest in a broader scheme to erode our democracy and consolidate power. Wisconsin Fair Maps Coalition Organizing Director, iuscely Flores, released the following statement:

“The Wisconsin Fair Maps Coalition stands in solidarity with voters and advocates in Texas who are facing yet another wave of extreme, partisan gerrymandering designed to entrench power and deny communities fair representation. Let me make this clear, as a native Spanish speaker, gerrymandering translates to three words: manipulating election results. We will not allow voters to be undermined. »Read more
