The State of Politics: State Democratic Leaders Back New House Districts
['Steven Walters']
Urban Milwaukee
Republicans control the House by 219-213 margin, with three vacancies.
State Democratic Party Chair Devin Remiker also said a new Democratic governor and Democratic legislators “need to consider” redrawing the eight districts, if they control those two branches of state government in 2027.
“I personally think that, if we have the opportunity to effect change, there should be another election without gerrymandered maps,” Remiker added.
A lawsuit to overturn current House maps is pending in Dane County Circuit Court.
But Ben Wikler, the former state Democratic chair who is credited with raising $262 million for party causes over six years that included winning several major statewide elections, cautioned that it’s premature to talk about 2027.
