Spending in Wisconsin’s governor’s race shattered the previous record

Written by on February 1, 2023

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Spending in Wisconsin’s governor’s race shattered the previous record by more than 75%, with more than $164 million spent on the contest won in the battleground state by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers. That is according to a report Tuesday from the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, a group that tracks spending on state elections. The total amount spent on the race, which was a national priority for both Republicans and Democrats, topped the previous high of $93 million set in Evers’ first win in 2018. It was double the amount spent in the 2014 race.
