Create a nonpartisan redistricting commission
When more than 80 percent of our state supports medical marijuana, 80 percent support universal background checks and extreme risk protection orders, and 70 percent support expanding Medicaid, and elected officials can ignore those numbers without
consequence, folks, something's wrong. I will be signing an executive order to create a nonpartisan redistricting commission who will draw The People's Maps. When presented to the Legislature next year, I hope they will receive bipartisan support.

Overturn Citizens United: limit political donations
Q: Support Citizens United decision, allowing unlimited political donations from corporations & unions? Views on Wisconsin campaign finance rules?
Tony Evers (D): Overturn Citizens United. Reverse Walker-supported law that limited political corruption investigations, doubled campaign contribution limits, & eased cooperation between candidates & outside groups.
Scott Walker (R): No public statement on Citizens United. To avoid "political witch hunts," he & allies pushed through a law to limit some corruption investigations.
See defense & criticism of his approach to campaign finance limits and these investigations.
