Democrats, Republicans ramp up legislative campaigns under Wisconsin's new maps

This November will be Wisconsin voters’ first time casting general election ballots under the state’s new legislative maps, and both parties are gearing up for what might be the most expensive Assembly and Senate campaigns in state history.

Democrats say the new maps present an opportunity to gain a majority in the Legislature for the first time in over a decade, while Republicans fend off challenges in once-safe districts.

Both sides predict the most competitive seats could see over a million dollars spent per side, as financial support from national groups pours into the Badger State.

“There are competitive districts all across the state giving voters a choice this November,” said Assembly Democratic Minority Leader Greta Neubauer, D-Racine.
