Senator Scott Fitzgerald (608)-266-5660
Representative Robin Vos (608)-266-9171
Madison…Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) and Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) released the following statement following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on the redistricting case.
“We are pleased with the unanimous opinion from the U.S Supreme Court. We have been confident throughout this process that the court would rule in our favor.
“Democrats have been using the maps as an excuse for their failure to connect with Wisconsin voters. We believe the redistricting process we undertook seven years ago fulfilled our constitutional duty, and followed all applicable laws and standards that are required in redistricting.
“We are confident with the U.S. Supreme Court guidance, the lower court will find the Democrat activists’ case is without merit.”
