WEAC SPENDS $573,618 ON DPI CANDIDATE

In campaign finance disclosures filed Monday, the political action committee of the Wisconsin Education Association Council reported spending more than a half-million dollars in TV and radio buys in support of superintendent of public instruction candidate Tony Evers.

Nearly $180,000 of the $549,418.15 reported by the state’s largest teachers union PAC in the latest filing already had been reported in advance of the Feb. 17 primary, in which Evers finished just ahead of opponent Rose Fernandez.

In addition, WEAC contributed $8,625 to Tony Evers for State Superintendent on Feb. 2 and last week reported spending $15,575 for other expenses related to the campaign.

(That’s $573,618 altogether, folks.)
