The Government Accountability Board required all state candidates, incumbents and other political committees, including political groups supporting Gov. Scott Walker and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke, to submit electronic campaign finance reports Friday.
The reports cover all activity from July 1 to Dec. 31, 2013.
Friends of Scott Walker, one of the main political groups backing Walker, reported approximately $5,000,000 in total receipts for this period and disbursed $2,700,000.
Burke for Wisconsin, Burke’s main supporter, reported receiving approximately $1,800,000 and distributing $500,000.
There is a $3,319,794.99 difference between the funds received by the two parties during this period.
The Wisconsin Campaign Finance Information System is a source of campaign finance data accessible to viewers.
The reports provide information, which aids the public in fully understanding a candidate or political organization’s positions, according to the board’s site.
