I am Mark Spreitzer.

Fair redistricting is important to me because…

“Redistricting is at the heart of our democracy. Without fair maps, we will not have fair elections. Without fair elections, the voice of the people is silenced. The Wisconsin Legislature is a perfect example of the the disastrous impacts of gerrymandering. While Wisconsinites elected Democrats to serve in every statewide constitutional office, legislative Republicans lost just one seat in the State Assembly and gained a seat in the State Senate. Issues that have been supported by large majorities of Wisconsinites in poll after poll – fair redistricting included – have been entirely ignored by legislative Republicans, safe to ignore the will of the people thanks to their rigged districts. Without fair maps, our democracy does not work.”
