Hijacking Campaign 2026 | Campaign 2026

Badger Action Project first registered with the Wisconsin State Ethics Commission to make independent expenditures in state elections in June 2026. Next to nothing is known about the organization. Its registered Shorewood, Wisconsin address is identical to that of a corporation called Badger Action Alliance, Inc. which was first formed in March this year. That address also matches that of a UPS store. Many independent expenditure committees share addresses with such establishments.
The most recent campaign finance report filed by the committee showed it only raised $100 in the first six months of the year and had a cash balance of the same at the end of June. Despite that, about three weeks before the August 11th primary, it reported spending $12,000 for online advertising to support Joel Brennan, one of seven candidates on the Democratic primary ballot for governor as incumbent Democratic Gov. Tony Evers is not seeking reelection. The group filed its first spending reports about five days after WisPolitics first wrote up its advertising, which you can view here.
This organization is registered with the Wisconsin Ethics Commission as an independent expenditure committee following the January 2010 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United v. FEC.
