Commentary by John Lehman: Fairer redistricting needed. (Racine Journal Times, 2/16/2018)
For example, the old 21st district went for Walker by 9 points in 2010. The redrawn District, stretching from a tiny section of Racine around Wanggaard’s house in West Racine to Twin Lakes in Western Kenosha County voted for Walker by a whopping 23 percent in 2010. That’s gerrymandering. That’s a guy getting a district drawn unfairly for himself by his friends.
Lehman says new state Senate district was drawn in secret for Wanggaard within half a block of his house. (PolitFact Wisconsin, 7/26/2012)
Lehman says the new 21st State Senate district was "created in secret for Van Wanggaard. It was drawn within half a block of his house."
It’s common, of course, for the party in control to draw maps favorable for itself -- and the lines in question here have been approved by the courts.
While the points Lehman cites may sound outrageous, even unbelievable, the record shows them to be accurate. We rate the statement True. [emphasis added]

Wittke prevails in Assembly District 62 GOP primary. (Racine Journal Times, 8/14/2018)
Wittke, president of the Racine Unified School District Board, will face former state Sen. John Lehman, D-Racine, in the Nov. 6 general election. Lehman ran unopposed for the Democratic nomination.
[snip]
On Aug. 7, the race took a turn toward hostility when Leiber filed an ethics complaint against Wittke’s campaign, alleging that Wittke’s campaign literature violated state laws that say campaign communications must clearly disclose who is funding them. Wittke dismissed the complaint as a “dirty trick” while Weatherston said it was “grasping at straws.”
