Rep John Macco (R) has represented the 88th AD since his 2014 election. Macco told WisPolitics earlier this spring that he’s “looking at it now” as he considers his next steps for the upcoming 2024 election. The new maps and district lines remove him from the 88th Assembly District, and places him into the 2nd…
