The GOP-aligned Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) released an ad targeting Barnes’ support of raising taxes despite the fact that he allegedly avoided paying property taxes in the past. Barnes has voiced support for raising the gas tax nearly 30 percent, a billion-dollar tax increase on Wisconsin families and an income tax as high as 70 percent. According to AdImpact, SLF has been the biggest spender in Wisconsin’s U.S. Senate race. From August 1 through the November 8 general election, the group is poised to spend $23.6 million.
