This Washington D.C. group supports Democratic candidates for federal and state offices. Between 2016 and 2000 it spent over $2 million in both partisan and non-partisan Wisconsin elections. It has done all its spending through "unregistered" committees, meaning it does not need to report its sources of income to the Wisconsin Ethics Commission, the state agency that monitors and regulates campaign spending.
For Our Future first reported independent spending in the 2022 elections in late September, reporting over $83,000 for phone banks, canvassing, online advertising and other "digital communication services" (most likely phone texts) in the races for governor, attorney general, lieutenant governor as well as four state senate and nine state assembly districts.
Three days before the November 8 elections, the group reported spending nearly $307,000 for canvassing, phone calls, online advertising and campaign literature in the races for governor and attorney general along with several senate and assembly races. About $250,000 of that sum was devoted to supporting Democratic incumbent Attorney General Josh Kaul.
Last active election: 2020
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.
