This Maryland based committee is run by National Nurses United, which describes itself as "the largest union and professional association of registered nurses in U.S. history."
In late September the union first reported spending in the 2022 election with over $30,500 going towards the reelection campaign of Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.
In the remaining weeks leading up to the election it spent nearly another $39,000 on mailers, phone calls, texts and canvassing to support Evers.
In 2014, National Nurses United had registered an independent expenditure committee with the state to conduct independent expenditures in that year's gubernatorial election, but all its spending was funneled through another committee active in that election, Progressive Kick Wisconsin IE Committee.
Last active election: 2014
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.
