Candidates and outside groups have already spent 💰 $166M in #Wisconsin’s gubernatorial contest, making it the most expensive in state history, according to a @WisPolitics @StateAffairsUS review. #Republicans have had a massive ⏫️ advantage, accounting for $117.5M of what’s been spent so far, compared to $48.7M on the #Democratic side. pro.stateaffairs.com/wi/elec… – at Wisconsin, USA

Dem @DavidCCrowley raised $15.5 million over four weeks, while Republican @TomTiffanyWI pulled in $10.1 million as wealthy donors continued to pour 💰 into the state @WisDems + @WisGOP parties that then transferred ⏭️ millions to their governor candidates. Tiffany got $9 million from the state #GOP and $3.5 million in in-kind contributions as Beloit billionaire Diane Hendricks pumped $13 million into the party. Meanwhile, Crowley received $9.9 million overall from the state #Dem Party as several wealthy donors made seven-figure contributions to #WisDems. That included $5.5 million from @LinkedIn co-founder @reidhoffman during the pre-election period. pro.stateaffairs.com/wi/elec… – at Wisconsin, USA

The final @MULawPoll out Wednesday will not have any reaction following last week's 🗣 gubernatorial debate. 💡 Poll director @PollsAndVotes says the poll wrapped up questioning just before the debate took place Wednesday. "Some of the things are obviously not only vote choice but favorability," Franklin said on @WISN12News' #UPFRONT, which is produced in partnership with @WisPolitics @StateAffairsUS. "Whether you agree or disagree with the candidates' issue positions, but also ticking off some specific issues about who would do a better job of handling 🎓 #schoolfunding, handling #taxes, handling #datacenters, so some more specific things that 📮 #voters are judging the candidates by." Both Democratic strategist @jz_OFAWI and Republican @BillMcCoshen11 agree there wasn't a specific moment in last week's debate that could hang over either @DavidCCrowley or @TomTiffanyWI's campaign in the final full week on the campaign trail. pro.stateaffairs.com/wi/elec… – at Wisconsin, USA

“Our country 🇺🇲 faces many challenges, and I am continuing to fight to solve those challenges and those problems for each and every one of you,” @RepTonyWied said. @RickCrossonWI, on the other hand, took Wied to task for failing to place checks ✅️ on the @realDonaldTrump administration’s #tradewars and #military action. That played out early on in Thursday's @WFRVLocal5-hosted debate in sparring over the 🇮🇷 #Iran war. pro.stateaffairs.com/wi/elec… – at Wisconsin, USA
