The state GOP, meanwhile, pulled in almost $2.2 million last year through its federal account and ended 2025 with $535,974.
WisDems’ fundraising was driven by $9.2 million in individual contributions. That includes almost $3.3 million in unitemized donations from those giving less than $200. Those donations are often seen as a sign of a committee’s small-dollar operation.
