Gov. Evers Releases Statement on U.S. Supreme Court Decision Regarding Redistricting
MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers today released the following statement in response to a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court regarding redistricting.
“The good news with today’s decision is that the congressional maps we proposed will remain in place—that’s great news for the people of our state and our democracy, and it’s been a long time coming.
“If we have to go back to the Wisconsin Supreme Court—who have already called our maps ‘superior to every other proposal’—to demonstrate again that these maps are better and fairer than the maps we have now, then that’s exactly what we’ll do. I will not stop fighting for better, fairer maps for the people of this state who shouldn’t have to wait any longer than they already have to ensure their voices are heard.”
