Wisconsin Conservation Voters applauds the Wisconsin Supreme Court in ruling in favor of fair maps

Wisconsin Conservation Voters applauds the Wisconsin Supreme Court in ruling in favor of fair maps and a representative democracy for all Wisconsinites.

Executive Director Kerry Schumann had this to say about the ruling:

“We are excited about the opportunity this ruling presents to establish legislative districts that are fair and allow people to have a voice in a representative democracy.

For more than a decade, Wisconsin has suffered under one of the most extreme gerrymanders in the country. Without accountability to their constituents, legislators have ignored issues that impact people’s everyday lives like clean air, clean water, and our freedom to vote. We are excited about the opportunity to see real change that will drastically affect communities around the state.
