Spending in Wisconsin’s governor’s race surpassed the previous record by more than 75 percent when Democratic Gov. Tony Evers won the battleground state, according to recent reports on campaign spending in state elections.
According to the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, the total amount spent on the race, which was a national priority for both Republicans and Democrats, surpassed the previous high of $93 million established in Evers’ first triumph in 2018 and was more than double what was spent in the 2014 race.
