This federal SuperPAC was first and last active in Wisconsin as an unregistered political committee in 2018 when it spent over $400,000 in the gubernatorial election that year. It's part of a group called NextGen America, an environmental advocacy organization founded by San Francisco billionaire and hedge fund manager Tom Steyer. Steyer and his group support Democratic candidates.
Towards the end of the first week in October, the committee reported spending over $3,000 for brochures to support Democratic incumbents Gov. Tony Evers and Attorney General Josh Kaul, and Secretary of State Doug La Follette.
It later spent about another $57,000 for campaign literature in support of the three incumbents.
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.
