Our candidates run on grassroots support.
In most of these races our Democratic candidates are outspent, often heavily. Small-dollar donations and volunteer hours are how they close the gap. You can help.
Meet the candidatesDonateVolunteerSources & notes. State data: Wisconsin Ethics Commission Campaign Finance system (CFIS), disbursements dated 1/1/2025 to present. Federal data (U.S. House districts 6 and 8): Federal Election Commission, 2026 cycle. Justin Schumacher (Assembly 5) had no itemized disbursements in the state export and is shown as no reported spending. Senate District 1 is an open seat (Sen. André Jacque is not seeking re-election); it is shown as independent Mark Becker vs. Republican Nic Cravillion. Ron Tusler’s total reflects only a small number of reported transactions, so his category detail is limited. Tom Tiffany’s $10.5M reflects a very large war chest (he entered the race as a sitting member of Congress), which dwarfs every other committee. Dave Murphy (Assembly 56) is not seeking re-election, so his open seat is shown as Grace Abitz vs. Republican Tony Phillips.
