Rebecca Kleefisch’s campaign announced this week that she raised more than $3.6 million in the first half of 2022. “I’m thankful for the grassroots conservatives who continue to invest in our campaign because I am the only candidate with a proven record to get Wisconsin back on track,” Kleefisch said in a press release.
According to the campaign, the $3.6 million haul is more than all the Democratic challengers for governor raised in 2018 combined and also exceeds former Governor Scott Walker’s fundraising report in July 2010. However, the number is far below the $10.1 million that incumbent Governor Tony Evers said he raised during the first half of 2022. Kleefisch’s campaign did not release how much she spent during the first six months of the year or how much cash she had on hand at the end of the filing period.
Michael Best Strategies Capitol Insights will continue to report on fundraising numbers as they become available and will release a detailed breakdown of campaign financial reports in next week’s edition following the July 15 reporting deadline.
