WI-SD30: New maps put Green Bay front and center in races for Legislature

Perhaps nowhere has the effect of the new maps been felt more dramatically than in Green Bay, where new districts in both the Assembly and Senate could tip the balance in the Legislature.

The new 30th state Senate District includes much of the city of Green Bay, along with neighboring De Pere, Ashwaubenon, Allouez and Bellevue. With no incumbent, both candidates are getting to know voters.

In mid-October, small business owners filtered into a room in Hinterland Brewery in Ashwaubenon, across the street from Lambeau Field, for a roundtable discussion on the economy. They heard from the Democratic candidate, Jamie Wall, who made reference to redistricting as he introduced himself.

“What’s happened here with the new maps has brought on a chance to bring a breath of fresh air to Madison,” Wall said.
