No Charges Against State Lawmaker Accused of Scheme to Evade Campaign Finance Rules

Tuesday, April 23rd, 2024 -- 12:00 PM

(Bob Hague, Wisconsin Radio Network) There will be no charges against a state lawmaker accused in a scheme to evade campaign finance rules.

According to Bob Hague with the Wisconsin Radio Network, Waukesha County District Attorney Susan Opper on Friday declined to fire charges against state Representative Janel Brandtjen.

A referral from the state Ethics Commission recommended felony charges against the Menominee Falls Republican for activities related to a campaign to defeat Assembly Speaker Robin Vos. Opper did not clear Brandtjen of wrongdoing, but cited a lack of evidence that she could use in court.

The Ethics Commission also recommended charges against Vos’ challenger Adam Steen’s campaign committee; workers for Donald Trump’s fundraising committee; three Republican county parties; and several others over the alleged scheme.
