From the early endorsements we’ve received, to the thousands of supporters who have contributed to this campaign, it is clear that Wisconsinites are ready for a new way of thinking and to beat Ron Johnson.”

-
Approximately 85% of contributions were small dollar donations under $200.

Contributions came from donors in 69 of Wisconsin’s 72 Counties.
“Democrats all over Wisconsin are responding to Alex Lasry because he doesn’t just talk about the issues, he delivers results,” said DNC Representative Martha Love. “Whether it’s paying a $15 minimum wage, making sure projects in Wisconsin are built by Wisconsin companies, creating good union jobs, or marching on the front lines for racial justice – others talk about our challenges, Alex Lasry brings people together to solve them.”
Lasry will file his official campaign finance report before the Federal Elections Commission deadline on April 15th.
