Pocan Statement on Wisconsin Congressional Boundaries Lawsuit

MADISON, WI – Today, U.S. Congressman Mark Pocan (WI-02) released the following statement after a lawsuit was announced challenging the boundaries of Wisconsin’s current congressional districts:

“Wisconsin is a purple state, however, our current congressional district maps do not reflect that. Last month, the Wisconsin Supreme Court overruled the “least changed” theory regarding Wisconsin’s gerrymandered state legislative district maps. It’s time they do the same for our congressional district maps. I fully support today’s lawsuit on behalf of Wisconsin citizens as it tries to rectify this wrong and make these federal districts fair to all Wisconsinites.”
