Dawn of a New Wisconsin Progress Age?

In Wisconsin, Democrats are catching up thanks to a Scott Walker-era law that allows political parties to transfer unlimited money to individual campaigns. Democratic Party of Wisconsin (DPW) Chair Ben Wikler, one of the country’s most prolific fundraisers and successful state party leaders, transferred more than $8 million to Milwaukee Circuit Court Judge Janet Protasiewicz’s campaign for state supreme court this spring. A few months earlier, Wikler and the DPW kicked in $11.3 million to the re-election campaign of Governor Tony Evers, who outspent his Republican opponent by $12.5 million. Both Democrats won.
