WI: Who's in, who's out, who's on the move: Redistricting forces tough decisions for incumbents

Freshman GOP Rep. Angie Sapik is opting out.

The Lake Nebagamon lawmaker voted for the maps that turned the swing seat she won in 2022 by 490 votes into a 61% Dem seat.

She doesn’t see a path to victory. So she’s not running this fall for the northern Wisconsin seat unless a “miracle happens and nobody signs up in the end and I change my mind at the very last second.”

Even then, she wouldn’t like her chances.

“I could run, but I’m going to lose,” she told WisPolitics this week.
