Senate Democratic Leader Dianne Hesselbein (D-Middleton) Statement on Proposed Constitutional Amendment to Prohibit Partisan Gerrymandering

 

I have served in the legislature under gerrymandered maps created by Republicans and have seen firsthand the damage they do to democracy and to good public policy. The fair maps we passed two years ago have made a difference in Wisconsin. We now live in a time when the Trump administration has shown its utter disregard for our courts and our democratic system. In Texas, Trump showed he is focused on doing everything he can to create Republican advantages in critical upcoming elections. I am a fighter and my commitment is to make sure the people of Wisconsin have a strong voice in their democracy and that Democrats have the resources and tools to fully participate in whatever redistricting processes may occur in the future.
