Legislative Districts Set by State Supreme Court

The Wisconsin Supreme Court, in a 4-3 ruling, adopted the redistricting maps that the Republican Legislature drew and passed late last year, but were vetoed by Governor Evers. In its ruling, the Supreme Court indicated that the maps are not only race neutral, but adhere to the least-change approach that the Legislature dictated in a resolution earlier this session, and the Court previously adopted as well. In a concurring opinion, Justice Brian Hagedorn, who issued the previous ruling that was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, said that SCOTUS directed them to start with a race-neutral map, and he believes the Legislature’s maps were the court’s “only feasible option.”

Candidates began circulating nomination papers in April 15, and must submit them on June 1.

There are 29 legislators not seeking re-election this year. The all-time record is 32 set in 1942. There could still be other retirements before the June 1 deadline.
