MADISON, WI – In light of yesterday’s news that a lawsuit has been filed challenging the constitutionality of the Wisconsin legislative maps, the Wisconsin State Senate Democratic Committee (SSDC) launched a new program designed to put Senate Democrats in position to compete in all corners of Wisconsin, flip seats, and contend for a legislative majority, should fair lines become a reality.
“We are committed to giving every Wisconsinite a choice about who represents them in Madison – and ultimately that’s what this program is designed to do,” said Senate Democratic Leader Melissa Agard. “Regardless of the circumstances next year, Senate Democrats will be aggressively running in every part of our state – from La Crosse to Green Bay. And should the playing field be leveled and all 33 seats are up for grabs, we’re confident that Wisconsin voters will reject the hyper-partisan political gamesmanship that has defined Madison for too long and choose a new path for our state.”
Winning Wisconsin: the Fight for the Majority, will focus on candidate recruitment, engagement of grassroots supporters from across Wisconsin, and fundraising to ultimately put the caucus in the best position to break the super-majority and compete for the 17 seats needed to retake the majority. Senate Democrats will take its message to every corner of the State with a barnstorm starting in Madison with planned stops in the coming weeks in Milwaukee, Eau Claire, Superior, La Crosse, Green Bay, Appleton, Kenosha, and Racine.
