Wisconsin 2024 elections: Crybaby Republican Patrick Snyder forgets that he was gerrymandered into the 85th Wisconsin Assembly district in the first place

 

Patrick Snyder (R-Schofield) has represented the 85th Assembly District since January 2017.   With the elimination of GOP gerrymandered boundaries and the creation of fair maps, he no longer lives in the district, although he still plans to run for re-election there.  

Democrat Yee Ziong has also announced his candidacy.

WisPolitics rates the district as 52.6% Republican.

So the Republican was probably surprised earlier this year to find that new maps that would eventually be enacted moved his Schofield house just a few blocks outside the boundaries of the district. 

An angry Snyder accused Gov. Tony Evers, who submitted the new maps to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, of “gerrymandering me out of the community,” in a post on X (formerly twitter) in January. 

Snyder’s home was included in the old 85th because Republicans who drew the previous maps included an appendage that reached out and grabbed it. Evers’ maps separated the towns of Schofield and Rothschild from the new 85th and put them into the 87th, and Snyder with them. State Rep. James Edming, another Republican, holds that seat, so Snyder would have to run against him to win there. [emphasis added]
