The latest fundraising reports show the Dem Party raised nearly $2.8 million between Oct. 22 — the close of the last reporting period — and Dec. 31. It spent $4.2 million and finished the year with $650,569 in the bank. The state GOP, meanwhile, reported $2.4 million in receipts over that period and $3 million in disbursements. The Republican Party finished 2024 with $673,257 cash on hand.
U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore says she will not be attending Trump’s inauguration Monday, instead planning to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day in Milwaukee. U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Town of Vermont, had previously announced he would also not be attending the inauguration. He is instead doing a day of service in Wisconsin.
Challenger Jeff Wright outraised state Superintendent Jill Underly more than 2-to-1 during the most recent reporting period even though he didn’t start raising money until nearly two months after the incumbent began her efforts.
Gov. Tony Evers finished 2024 with $2.1 million in the bank — well short of the $3.9 million he reported for cash on hand at the same point four years ago before successfully seeking reelection in 2022.
The state Dem Party transferred $1 million to liberal Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford over the last six months, accounting for 44% of what she raised over the period. Meanwhile, conservative candidate Brad Schimel listed a series of donations from high-profile GOP donors such as Illinois businessman Dick Uihlein and former guv candidate Tim Michels, each of whom gave the maximum $20,000.
Conservative Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel says in his first TV ad that “justice is my life’s work.” Meanwhile, the liberal group A Better Wisconsin Together is up with what it called a mid six-figure buy accusing Schimel of being soft on sexual predators.
On this week’s episode of “Rewind,” WisPolitics.com’s JR Ross and CBS 58’s Emilee Fannon discuss Republicans’ push to get a voter ID amendment on the spring ballot, Gov. Tony Evers’ binding ballot initiative proposal, Inauguration Day at the state Capitol, the state Supreme Court race and more.
The proposal, if approved Tuesday as expected, would add a question to the April ballot asking voters to enshrine the voter ID requirement in the state constitution, ensuring the current law could not be overturned.
That pushes the group’s investment in the race to more than $1.3 million since mid-November.
Liberal Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford has now pulled in $2.8 million since May, topping the $2.2 million that conservative rival Brad Schimel says he has raised since launching his bid in late 2023.
Schimel’s campaign said today the haul is more than double what any Supreme Court candidate in Wisconsin history has raised during the July to December period ahead of a spring election. The campaign added that Schimel finished 2024 with $1.8 million in the bank.
“Their concerns are different types with regard to each of those nominees, and that’s why I’m going to be very interested to see the FBI vetting materials, to meet with them if possible, and to see the hearings unfold when they are asked tough questions and have to answer,” Baldwin said on WISN’s “UpFront,” which is produced in partnership with WisPolitics.
