“I was the first Latina senator elected in Eastern Washington and have loved serving my constituents.”
Both the Republican-controlled state Senate and Assembly passed legislative maps from Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.
The experts hired by the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled out maps submitted by Republicans and said they could take Democrats' maps and improve them.
Wisconsin Democratic Gov. Tony Evers on Tuesday vetoed a redistricting proposal that the Republican-controlled Legislature passed last week in a last-ditch effort to avert the drawing of legislative boundaries by the state Supreme Court. The veto came a day after five of Wisconsin’s Republican members of Congress, along with the GOP-controlled Legislature, asked the newest liberal member of the state Supreme Court not to hear a lawsuit that seeks to redraw congressional district maps ahead of the November election.
The court will review seven sets of competing legislative maps as it lurches toward the March 15 deadline to enact new districts.
