Hallelujah Robin Vos is retiring! Gavel-in, gavel-out Vos has stalled/stopped progressive legislation in Wisconsin for thirteen long years. 👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳 #wisconsin #RobinVos #wisconsingop #speakerrobinvos https://apnews.com/article/wisconsin-vos-speaker-assembly-retire-af6be836cd5700d7eaaf47e908f5b7a5

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos exits after 13 years, reshaping Wisconsin politics

The longest-serving Assembly speaker in Wisconsin history, who acted as a block on the battleground state’s Democratic governor and also drew the ire of President Donald Trump, isn't running again. Robin Vos announced Thursday that he won't seek reelection. Vos spent 13 years as speaker and has been one of the most influential Republicans in swing state Wisconsin. He was viewed by his liberal opponents as a shadow governor who shrewdly used his legislative majority to stop Democratic policies. Vos angered Trump when he initially didn't investigate Trump's claims of fraud following the 2020 presidential election.

WI GOP “Nonpartisan” Redistricting Bill Still Lets Them Draw Maps
https://truthout.org/articles/wi-gop-offers-nonpartisan-redistricting-bill-that-still-lets-them-draw-maps

* Republicans can’t impeach justice Janet Protasiewicz, who would likely rule against current maps
* purportedly nonpartisan redistricting process
* sounds good; doesn’t actually change continued GOP gerrymandering
* since 2011 GOP won WI state legislature largely due to their gerrymandered districts
