According to a press release from Democratic Governor Tony Evers’ campaign, the first-term governor raised over $4.5 million in the span of 37 days during the most recent campaign finance reporting period. That’s double what Scott Walker raised in the same period in 2018. Evers received over 34,00 contributions from over 25,000 donors during the 37-day period and has more than $6 million in the bank. Evers’ campaign said the governor has raised more than $25 million since January 2021, the most of any prior Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate at this point in the cycle. For comparison, Walker raised $15.6 million during a similar time period in 2018.
September’s campaign finance reports are due next week Tuesday.
