PAC Contributions

Updated: January 27, 2012

Updated through January 17, 2012 for Governor Walker, Lieutenant Governor Kleefisch and four state senators who filed campaign finance reports in connection with current recall efforts. Also updated for the Committee to Elect a Republican Senate and the State Senate Democratic Committee. Correction: PAC contributions made after December 31 were mistakenly left off the January 25th update. Those contributions have been added as of January 27.

Updated through November 30, 2011 for final ballot candidates in the special election in Assembly District 95.

Current through June 30, 2011 for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, state school superintendent, Supreme Court candidates, spring special election candidates and incumbent legislators not involved in recalls. Some legislative campaign committees may be updated past June 30 if they filed reports covering activity past that date.

Current through August 10, 2011  for candidates in the Senate  District 30 recall, through August 31 for candidates in the August 9 recall elections and the special election in Assembly District 48 and through September 7 for candidates in the August 16 recall elections.

Returned contributions have been removed.

This database includes records of contributions from political action committees (PACs) and other campaign committees to candidates for the Wisconsin Legislature as well as the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, state school superintendent and state Supreme Court justices.

The database also includes contributions from the Wisconsin Election Campaign Fund (WECF) which was intended, at least in part, as a substitute for PAC contributions.

The contributor records in this database generally date back to 1993, although in limited cases contributions dating as far back as 1991 are included. All contributions are based on reports filed by candidates with the state’s Government Accountability Board.
