When Tony Evers (D) won his Race for Governor of Wisconsin in 2018, He knew it was because of Progressives in the State.
Since Day One, He has been Fighting for Real Change. So Last week, He gave his Second State of the State Address, and took a Stand against Special Interests who Use their Power to Undermine the Will of Wisconsin Voters.
He Announced that he will be Signing an Executive Order to Create a Nonpartisan Redistricting Commission that will Draw Fair District Maps.
The Nonpartisan Redistricting Commission will Consist of the People of the State, Not Elected Officials, Not Lobbyists, and Not High-Paid Consultants.
The People’s Maps Commission will Visit Every Congressional District, Hear Directly from Folks across the State, and Draw Fair, Impartial Maps for the Legislature to take up in 2021.
This is a Giant Step Forward in Protecting the Voting Rights of Everyone in Wisconsin and a Model for Governor’s to take Action across the Country.
Evers believes, and Wisconsinites do too, that People should get to Choose their Elected Officials, Not the other way around.
So, when The People’s Maps are Presented to the Legislature next year, He hopes they will Receive Unanimous, Bipartisan Support.
Every Member of the Legislature who Stands Against a Plan for Fair Maps is Outing Themselves as an Opponent of Ensuring that Wisconsin’s Democracy Accurately Represents the People.
The Republicans were quick to answer that the Shaming Strategy won't Work, because they Plan to Win Control in November, so they'll feel No Restraint in Drawing Boundaries that Keep it that Way for another 10 years.
