Free and Fair Elections USA is a newly formed Washington, DC based organization operating as an unregistered committee in Wisconsin state elections. Little is known about the committee aside from what is on its first report to the Wisconsin State Ethics Commission. The organization is registered with the Federal Elections Commission (FEC), but the FEC has little information on the organization at this time.
Less than four weeks before the November 8 election, Free and Fair Elections USA reported spending nearly $40,600 for online advertising against GOP gubernatorial challenger Tim Michels, who sought to deny incumbent Democratic Gov. Tony Evers a second term.
About three weeks before the election, it reported spending about an additional $27,000 for online advertising in opposition to Michels.
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.
