The former Wisconsin governor seeks to counter former Attorney General Eric Holder as he joins the National Republican Redistricting Trust.
The National Republican Redistricting Trust, the GOP’s data and legal hub preparing for redistricting after the next census, has brought on former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker as the group’s national finance chairman.
Walker said next month’s Supreme Court race in his home state is an example of Democrats’ unrelenting focus on setting up redistricting in 2021 and beyond. The state Supreme Court could play a major role in drawing future political maps in Wisconsin, if it has to navigate a split between the GOP-controlled Legislature and the Democratic governor in 2021.
That is Walker’s brief at the NRRT. The GOP redistricting trust launched in 2017 with plans to raise $35 million to gather and warehouse key data for redistricting and fight court battles over political maps, and Walker is now charged with raising the money to power those efforts.
