The League of Women Voters of Ashland and Bayfield Counties is honored to announce that Jay Heck, Executive Director of Common Cause Wisconsin, will be speaking on Fair Maps at our annual Fall Membership meeting on Thursday, September 24th from 6-7:30 p.m. via Zoom. To learn more about Jay's extensive work in protecting our democracy through Common Cause, please click on his bio here.

CC/WI was established in 1996 and is now Wisconsin’s largest non-partisan citizens reform advocacy organization with 2500 plus members. Jay Heck is known for leading redistricting reform in Wisconsin. He advocates for the Iowa model that uses an independent non-partisan organization to draw new district maps and has unified legislators and organizations to seek a more democratic approach to partisan gerrymandering.

In November, there will be an advisory referendum on the ballot in Bayfield County to create a countywide nonpartisan procedure for the preparation of legislative and congressional re-districting plans and maps.  Since we are unable to get this type of action through the Wisconsin Legislature at this time, we are forced to pursue it county by county.  

Please join us for this timely and extremely relevant event! Common Cause has been around since 1970 and works tirelessly on critical actions to ensure our democracy remains just that - a democracy.
