Scott Walker to raise money for Republican redistricting group. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 3/21/2019)
As fundraising chairman for the National Republican Redistricting Trust, Walker will serve in some ways as a counterpoint to Eric Holder, the former attorney general under President Barack Obama who has been active in Wisconsin politics since last year. Holder oversees the National Democratic Redistricting Committee. Both groups say they want to ensure redistricting is fair after the 2020 census, but they're likely to differ on what qualifies as fair.
In other words, Scott Walker must think these districts, overruled and redrawn by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, are fair.
