Folks,

As the Governor of Wisconsin and the former State Superintendent, I've seen first-hand the damage that gerrymandering has caused.

In 2018, the GOP won 64% of the seats in our state legislature despite only winning 46% of the vote. That same year, the people of Wisconsin said they were through with Scott Walker's special interest-backed agenda by electing me by just 30,000 votes.

But Walker wasn't done quite yet. On his way out of office, he signed legislation passed by the GOP lame-duck majority in the legislature that stripped our administration of executive authority before I took office.

A minority party is desperately trying to hold on to power -- and it's coming at the expense of the values, hopes, and desires of the majority of people in Wisconsin.

I see the urgency of the work that All On the Line is doing. We are depending on work like theirs to restore trust in our democracy in Wisconsin and other states across the country.

But All On The Line can only keep up the fight to end map manipulation with your support -- can you chip in today to fund their mission?

The voters that elected me want to see meaningful progress.

Wisconsinites want to undo the cuts passed by Walker and the gerrymandered legislature and build upon the investments that we made last year in our schools, expand Medicaid, and pass common-sense gun safety legislation.

These are issues that a majority of voters support -- but legislators won't act because they're too focused on winning primary elections in gerrymandered districts.

This is why I established the People's Maps Commission in Wisconsin to draw fair maps in 2021. This nonpartisan commission puts the power back into the hands of people and takes Wisconsin one step closer to fair maps -- and meaningful progress.

I need your help to make sure states across the country keep fighting for fair maps to move our agenda forward. We need public pressure campaigns to remind legislators that they're still accountable to voters. And ultimately, we'll need to mobilize grassroots communities and volunteers to be advocates for fairness so that we can put a stop to gerrymandering once and for all.

We need All On The Line's work to be successful. And that means we need it to be well funded. Will you donate to All On The Line's mission to bring public accountability to map manipulators?
