Out-of-state donations are ramping up in Wisconsin Supreme Court race
Out-of-state donors and political action committees are starting to pour their resources into this spring’s Wisconsin Supreme Court election.
The race between Dane County Judge Susan Crawford and former Republican Attorney General Brad Schimel is likely to be the most expensive judicial election in American history. That’s according to Nick Ramos, executive director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, a campaign finance watchdog.
Ramos spoke recently on WPR’s “Wisconsin Today.” He said roughly 60 people so far contributed the maximum $20,000 individual donation to a judicial campaign for an election that’s more than a month away.
“We’re seeing maxed-out contributions at a level that we have not seen before at this moment in time,” he said. “This isn’t all in-state money. There are a lot of out-of-state people.”
