MADISON, Wis —If you are covering Governor Tony Evers’ request for the Wisconsin Supreme Court to reconsider congressional maps, please consider the following statement from the Republican Party of Wisconsin:
“It comes as no surprise that Tony Evers would shamelessly pressure the Wisconsin Supreme Court to throw out his own maps. The same out-of-state donors funding the Elias Law firm lawsuit were also responsible for bankrolling Janet Protasiewicz’s campaign last year. This is nothing more than a blatant attempt by Wisconsin Democrats to exploit a compromised Justice for the sake of entrenching themselves in positions of power.” —WisGOP Spokesperson Matt Fisher
Background:
- The same out-of-state donors that financed Janet Protasiewicz’s campaign for the Wisconsin Supreme Court are now funding the Elias Law Group’s lawsuit that Governor Evers’ is requesting the Supreme Court take up.
