Dem 3rd CD candidate Rebecca Cooke has sent GOP rival Derrick Van Orden a cease-and-desist letter demanding he stop posting AI deepfakes of her to make it seem like she made comments she’s never said.
Tom Tiffany raised $26.3 million over the past two months for his gubernatorial campaign, thanks largely to transfers from the state GOP after the party received $27.6 million from billionaires Diane Hendricks, Dick Uihlein and Liz Uihlein.
The latest Marquette University Law School poll found little change in the governor’s campaign from a month ago with Dem David Crowley and Republican Tom Tiffany in a tight race.
Municipal clerks reported to the Wisconsin Elections Commission over the past 10 months possible nomination paper forgery, election threats and voter impersonation, according to a draft report on suspected election fraud, irregularities or violations.
Tiffany said it was part of an effort to lower costs for consumers that includes appointing members of the PSC who put “affordability and reliability first.”
The Wisconsin Supreme Court agreed to hear a case on the power of county judges to extend polling hours, though it declined to expedite the appeal.
“This is me campaigning for Democrats,” Hong said on WISN 12’s “UpFront,” which is produced in partnership with WisPolitics. “I think that it’s important we are campaigning in as many places as we can, and I think that you’ll see Democrats come together and make sure that we’re earning people’s votes.”
Hong said losing the Dem gubernatorial primary was paintful, but “it’s absolutely vital” to keep the governor’s office in Democratic hands and overcome Republican majorities in the state Senate and Assembly.

Dem Rebecca Cooke has declined a second invitation to debate GOP U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden, saying she won’t participate in the “charade” with a potential host she says has “an obvious partisan bias.”
The court heard oral arguments in two challenges to Wisconsin’s congressional map, including one that claims the lines amount to an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander. The other argues the map — which has helped produce a 6-2 GOP supermajority — is an anti-competitive gerrymander because the lines are drawn in a way to protect most incumbents from a true challenge.
David Crowley said if elected governor he will move to bar Wisconsin elected officials from trading stocks or participating in prediction markets and stop regulators from working for the utilities they oversaw.
Tom Tiffany sustained minor injuries after the plane he was traveling in made an emergency landing in Lake Wausau Saturday night and began to sink, the GOP gubernatorial candidate said in a statement.
7th CD Republican candidate Michael Alfonso and Democrat candidate Fred Clark will face off in a televised debate Oct. 7.
