The Evers campaign and the Democratic Governors Association (DGA) each released a new ad this week claiming GOP rival Tim Michels’ construction company had a culture of sexual harassment and assault. The Evers campaign declined to provide details on the buy other than saying the ad will air statewide on broadcast and cable, while the DGA said its ad is part of a seven-figure buy that will run statewide.
In a press release, Michels called the content of the ads “unproven allegations” and said “harassment in the workplace should not be condoned, nor tolerated.” “Shame on Governor Evers and others who are trying to destroy the reputation of a great Wisconsin company for political purposes. These smears defame a great company, all in the name of politics. There’s no place for that garbage here,” Michels said.
