This political action committee (PAC) is controlled by the Working Families Party, which supports progressive and Democratic candidates for local, state, and federal offices. The party and PAC are based in Brooklyn, NY, and Mike Boland, who is the party’s field director, serves as the PAC’s treasurer. In 2021 the party had endorsed Jilly Underly in her successful race for Wisconsin state school superintendent. The party's local branch made independent expenditures in the 2016 and 2020 fall elections.
The party's PAC spent about $2,650 to support Angelito Tenorio, an also-ran in the August Democratic primary for treasurer.
In September it spent $328,000 for campaign literature and canvassing to support Democratic incumbent Gov. Tony Evers.
By the time the election was over it had spent about another $4,100 to back Evers.
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.
