This unregistered committee is run by Forward Majority, a Democratic group formed in 2017 to contest state legislative elections nationwide.
In late October it first reported spending over $350,000 on mailings and online advertising to oppose Republican incumbents in four state senate races.
Here is a mailing about the Republican incumbent in the 13th Senate District and another about his Democratic challenger, and here is another comparing both candidates sent at the end of October.
Forward Majority reported spending more than $600,000 to support Democrats across six senate districts - the 9th, 13th, 17th, 21st, 23rd and 29th. Spending reached six figures in all but the 17th and the 23rd.
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.
