Walker raises $3.5 million in first half of 2017
Gov. Scott Walker, who pledged his fundraising report for the first half of 2017 would send a message about his re-election intentions, raised $3.5 million over the past six months and finished June with $2.4 million in the bank, according to a memo his campaign provided WisPolitics.com. The campaign dropped the fundraising numbers as news broke Andy Gronik became the first major Dem candidate to get in the guv race. The Milwaukee businessman declared on his campaign website he’s not “intimidated” by Walker’s fundraising. Walker’s fundraising total matches what the guv pulled in during the first six months of 2013
