Penny Bernard Schaber, with the Wisconsin Fair Maps Coalition, and a former Assembly representative, is urging voters to contact their legislators to demand they support the session.
“I’m happy with what the governor is doing because it keeps it in the public eye, and it makes sure people are paying attention,” she said. “And it gives us a chance to tell our legislators: ‘Okay, here’s your chance. Don’t gavel in, gavel out, do your job.’” (Penny Bernard Schaber is also the Common Cause Wisconsin Advisory Board President)
