Fall: OathSpending

This West Allis-based Democratic group first appeared in the 2016 general election when it unsuccessfully opposed the reelection of Republican Sen. Tom Tiffany in northern Wisconsin.

In mid-October 2018 it reported spending to oppose Republican challenger Rep. Andre Jacque in the 1st Senate District. Jacque, then representing the 2nd Assembly District, had made an unsuccessful run for the seat in a June 2018 special election losing to Democrat Caleb Frostman, but he won the rematch in November.

Two days before the November election it first reported spending in opposition to incumbent Republican Gov. Scott Walker who faced Democrat Tony Evers.

Last active election: 2016
