MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) – The candidates for governor have raised millions of dollars for their campaigns in recent weeks.
New campaign finance reports show Republican challenger Tim Michels slightly outraised incumbent Democratic Governor Tony Evers over the past month.
However, new report from AdImpact Politics indicates the vast majority of the money Michels’ campaign took in came from Michels himself.
The September report his campaign filed with the state shows Michels personally gave five million dollars to his campaign. Evers reported taking in just over four and a half million dollars during the September filing period.
AdImpact Politics pts the entire price tag at 55 million-dollars. Most of that, some 38 million has come from Governor Tony Evers and the groups that want to see him reelected. The rest, another 17 million-dollars, has come from Republican Tim Michels and the groups that want to see him elected.
Polls show the race as a toss-up.
