Overview

  • The Wisconsin Supreme Court’s June 25 order declined to reconsider Governor Evers’ congressional map for the 2026 election.
  • This decision follows a 2024 refusal and comes after the court redrew state legislative maps in 2023.
  • Democrats, led by Marc Elias’ law firm, argued the federal map breached the state constitution’s equal treatment requirement.
  • Two Republican-held districts deemed competitive—represented by Reps. Bryan Steil and Derrick Van Orden—remain key battlegrounds.
  • With legal avenues exhausted, campaigns will now target election strategies under the existing boundaries for 2026.
