Wisconsin Democratic Party raises $10M as battle for the state heats up

The Wisconsin Democratic Party raised $10 million in the second quarter of the year, girding for battles in both the presidential race and the state legislature in one of the country’s most closely divided battleground states.

Party officials said the $10 million haul, which is split between the party’s federal and state accounts, is the best quarter it has recorded in its history.

“I don’t think there’s a Democrat in Wisconsin that’s going to take Donald Trump for granted. That was done once before,” Democratic Gov. Tony Evers said in an interview with POLITICO.

Flipping Wisconsin back into the blue column in the Electoral College is goal No. 1 for state Democrats in 2020. Wisconsin has already attracted tens of millions of dollars in spending and sits atop Trump and Joe Biden’s target lists, with the campaigns and outside groups combining to spend or reserve over $35 million on TV and radio ads there from March through the general election, according to Advertising Analytics.
