OMG. Fair Maps in Wisconsin. I almost can't believe it. I've been in this fight for 10 years, but for people like Doug Poland this has been 13 years in the making. Lets see what amazing things the people of Wisconsin can do when they get to choose their representatives!!

This team has been tireless. I'm so excited and proud!!!!!

Two #RankedChoiceVoting bills are headed to the VaSenateofVirginia floor!

The court-appointed consultants in the #Wisconsin legislative districting case have spoken. The key takeaway: The GOP gerrymander of Wisconsin in place since 2011 is dead. The key quote: “To put it simply, in Wisconsin, geography is not destiny.” acefiling.wicourts.gov/document/uploa… 1/

Voters like open primaries (70% support in most polls). Taxpayers pay for primaries - they are not funded by parties. But many partisans - D and R both - don't care. They want to use public $ to run private elections. politi.co/3RSfTbL via POLITICO Clancy DuBos
