Two top Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature are retiring, potentially handing Democrats control of the state Senate and Assembly. Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos announced their retirements, following a liberal-controlled state Supreme Courts decision to throw out old Republican-drawn maps. Democratic Governor Tony Evers signed fairer boundaries into law, helping Democrats close the gap in both chambers. Democrats are celebrating, with party chair Devin Remiker calling it a clear signal to other Republicans that the fight is tough. Republicans have dominated the Legislature since 2011, but recent court shifts and map changes have flipped the momentum. Democrats need just two seats for a Senate majority and five in the Assembly, with the Wisconsin Senate being the most competitive chamber up for grabs nationwide this cycle.
