On The Issues: Craig Gilbert and John Johnson

Description

Mike will be talking about redistricting with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Washington Bureau Chief Craig Gilbert and with John Johnson, research fellow at the Law School’s Lubar Center for Public Policy Research and Civic Education. This is the second in a series of conversations about how legislative maps are drawn in Wisconsin. Last fall, Mike spoke with two former state lawmakers, Dale Schultz and Tim Cullen, about their efforts to change the redistricting process. Now, with new census numbers expected to be released this spring, Mike will talk with Gilbert and Johnson about how the process will unfold in the coming months, the debate over how best to draw new maps, and the challenge of creating more competitive districts.
