"The State + Local Election Alliance has spent over $44,000 supporting candidates in Wausau's Districts 1, 4, 6, and 7, dwarfing individual contributions."
"Individual contributors to city council campaigns are limited by law to $500 each. A $12,000 money drop by an outside group wipes out a lot of local voices."
"The mailers landing in Wausau mailboxes are not attack ads. A piece received this week in District 1 carries a straightforward positive message."
The State + Local Election Alliance has invested more than $44,000 in Wausau city council races ahead of the April 7 election. This dark money group has made independent expenditures totaling over $580,000 statewide for 21 candidates in various cities. The spending in Wausau exceeds legal contribution limits for individual residents, raising concerns about the influence of outside money on local elections. The group's advertisements focus on positive messaging rather than attacks, promoting candidates like Carol Lukens and others in different districts.
