Tony Evers’ legislative redistricting maps, results of Assembly and Senate floor sessions this week, Republican businessman Eric Hovde’s campaign announcing he will join the U.S. Senate race, the developing field to replace GOP U.S. Rep.

The co-chairs of the Joint Audit Committee and the Evers administration are at odds over whether interest from federal COVID-19 funds should be deposited in the general fund. The state collected more than $97 million in interest off the $3 billion in funds it received.
U.S. Rep.
