This is the first year this unregistered Washington, DC based committee has reported independent expenditures in Wisconsin. BlackPAC's self-avowed mission is to mobilize Black voters to elect state officials nationwide in order to advance Black rights and combat white supremacy. While not registered with the state of Wisconsin, BlackPAC is registered with the Federal Elections Commission.
Towards the end of the first week in October, BlackPAC first reported spending in the state's governor's race with nearly $4,500 spent in support of incumbent Democratic Gov. Tony Evers who faced Republican challenger and businessman Tim Michels.
In the weeks leading up to the election it spent over another $132,000 on canvassing and text messages to support 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.
