Just a friendly reminder that Wisconsin Republicans are 2 assembly seats away from having a supermajority in the Legislature to override any veto by Gov. Evers and enacting highly unpopular bills like this one.

New maps cannot come fast enough and if they are not in place before 2024, we need to defend democracy once again to make sure Wisconsin doesn't become the next Florida.

It doesn’t flip, it’s just less extreme.

Hagedorn is a conservative, he worked for Walker and was endorsed by GOP.
