Committee chair fundraising

In Wisconsin, a handful of state-level offices were up for election in April 2021. Most prominent among them were the race for Superintendent of Public Instruction and the special election for State Senate District 13. Contributors combined to donate nearly $9 million to candidates, PACs and causes ahead of the spring elections, and these are the donors leading the way.

In Wisconsin, PACs combined to raise over $90.3 million during the 2020 election cycle, boosting candidates and initiatives up and down the ballot. The interests of influential PACs leading up to the November elections offer a glimpse into the types of issues and policies that may be reflected in lawmakers’ legislative decisions in 2021.
