Outside Groups Spend Record Dollars on 2022 Election

Wednesday, December 7th, 2022 -- 10:00 AM

(Raymond Neupert, WRN) A massive amount of out-of-state money was spent trying to influence the 2022 elections in Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin Democracy Campaign announced on Monday that outside groups spent 93 million dollars on statewide races in the 2022 election cycle. That total does not include spending on federal campaigns like the US Senate race.

That tops the 61 million dollars spent on the 2018 elections and is one and a half times higher than the 36 million spent in 2014. Six dozen special interest groups took part in buying ads and promoting or smearing candidates.
