Senate Minority Leader Dianne Hesselbein, who was reelected to her leadership position Tuesday, said the new districts provide “a pathway to a majority in 2026.” Hesselbein, D-Middleton, said Senate Democrats will make a renewed push to spend some of the state’s surplus on K-12 education, public universities, workforce needs and middle-class tax cuts.
