MADISON – Today, the Wisconsin Supreme Court released their ruling in the case to challenge the constitutionality of the state’s legislative district maps. State Senator Melissa Agard (D-Madison) released the following statement:
“We as elected officials must protect our democracy and uphold the will of the people. Voters should choose their elected officials, not the other way around. I am glad to see the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling in favor of the people – that the current gerrymandered maps are unconstitutional and should be overturned.
“The Legislature does not reflect the values and voices of Wisconsinites. I applaud the state Supreme Court’s decision and look forward to an election cycle where all Wisconsinites can rightly choose their representatives in the State Capitol.”
