The History of Gerrymandering in Wisconsin

Presented by Tim Cullen

Former Wisconsin Senate Majority Leader Tim's Cullen will discuss his new book, Wisconsin Gerrymandering: The Fight for Permanent Fair Maps and Why It Matters, which examines the history of reapportionment and gerrymandering in Wisconsin. The book focuses on two time frames:1960 to 2010 and then 2011 to 2024 and explores why gerrymandering is not a partisan issue. History tells us that when one political party has total control of state government in the year after the federal census, they cannot resist using their power to gerrymander. This is true across America.
