- Now for an update on the race for governor.
We are seven months from the August primary and the
17 Democratic candidates looking to challenge Scott Walker
are hoping their fund-raising numbers will distinguish them
from the rest of the field.
The Democrats who raised the most money in 2017 are Tony
Evers, Dana Wachs, Andy Gronik, Mahlon Mitchell and Matt Flynn.
According to filings with the Wisconsin Ethics Commission,
Gronik and Wachs are largely self-funded with both candidates
contributing over half their campaigns earnings.
On the Republican side, Governor Scott Walker has a significant
advantage, raising more than $7 million in 2017,
ending the year with $4.2 million in cash on hand,
just under his numbers from the same time in 2014.
