The lawsuit is seeking to overturn the maps for the state Assembly that favor Republicans in elections. The U.S. Supreme Court considered the case but this summer found those who brought the case didn't have legal standing to do so. 
It sent the case back to the lower court and the Democrats have adjusted their approach to establish that they can pursue their arguments that their voting rights and free-association rights were violated.

Sarnwick wins Democratic nomination for 6th District Assembly.  (Shawano Leader, 8/15/2018)
Sarnwick and Switalla were on the same page on many issues, including their opposition to using taxpayer money to fund private schools, the need for environmental protections, including more possible regulation of large concentrated animal feeding operations and stricter enforcement of regulations already in place, and removing barriers to voting put in place by the Republican-controlled Legislature and governor. 
Switalla was making his second bid for the Assembly seat after being defeated by Tauchen two years ago. 
Sarnwick, a Shawano doctor, is making his first foray into politics.
