According to a recent story in JSOnline, records from the FEC show Diane Hendricks along with Liz and Dick Uihlein gave $3.5 million to Wisconsin Truth PAC, a newly formed super PAC based in Texas supporting Ron Johnson’s re-election bid. Hendricks alone donated $2 million in February while Liz and Dick Uihlein collectively gave $1.5 million in March. The donated funds did not sit idle long; the PAC already released a television spot slamming Joe Biden’s handling of the economy, including rising gas prices and inflation. The spot goes on to highlight Ron Johnson’s fiscal conservative credentials saying he’s “fighting for lower taxes, ending reckless spending, and finding American energy solutions that protect our safety and wallets.” The Uihleins and Hendricks have a history of infusing cash into Johnson’s re-election efforts. According to Pro Publica, the GOP mega donors gave a combined $20 million to support Johnson’s re-election bid in 2016.
