Supreme Court case takes deeper dive into campaign financing

Common Cause Wisconsin Executive Director Jay Heck believes that a decision favoring Republicans would pump even more money into politics as a whole, which he says could erode trust in the candidates at the federal and state levels.

“Heck adds that the ideal situation occurred for about two years in 2009 when state judicial candidates agreed to a $400,000 spending cap in exchange for full public financing of their campaign, eliminating the need for the candidates to fundraise. He already expects another record amount of money to be spent on the 2026 Wisconsin State Supreme Court race.”
