This is federal political action committee (PAC) used by the National Rifle Association (NRA), the nation's largest and most controversial pro-gun group, to support Republican and conservative candidates and attack Democrats in races for federal and state offices. Since 1998 the NRA's independent expenditures in Wisconsin elections have amounted to more $5.5 million.
Less than a week before the April 7 election it reported spending about $960 on text messages to support incumbent Wisconsin State Supreme Court Justice Daniel Kelly. An appointee of former Republican Governor Scott Walker, Kelly lost to Dane County Circuit Court Judge Jill Karofsky.
Last active election: 2018
This organization is an unregistered independent expenditure committee that is required to report any such spending done within 60 days of a primary or an election to the Wisconsin Ethics Commission per Chapter 11, Subchapter X of Wisconsin Statutes.
