Dem @DavidCCrowley raised $15.5 million over four weeks, while Republican @TomTiffanyWI pulled in $10.1 million as wealthy donors continued to pour 💰 into the state @WisDems + @WisGOP parties that then transferred ⏭️ millions to their governor candidates.
Tiffany got $9 million from the state #GOP and $3.5 million in in-kind contributions as Beloit billionaire Diane Hendricks pumped $13 million into the party. Meanwhile, Crowley received $9.9 million overall from the state #Dem Party as several wealthy donors made seven-figure contributions to #WisDems. That included $5.5 million from @LinkedIn co-founder @reidhoffman during the pre-election period.

The final @MULawPoll out Wednesday will not have any reaction following last week's 🗣 gubernatorial debate.
💡 Poll director @PollsAndVotes says the poll wrapped up questioning just before the debate took place Wednesday.
"Some of the things are obviously not only vote choice but favorability," Franklin said on @WISN12News' #UPFRONT, which is produced in partnership with @WisPolitics @StateAffairsUS. "Whether you agree or disagree with the candidates' issue positions, but also ticking off some specific issues about who would do a better job of handling 🎓 #schoolfunding, handling #taxes, handling #datacenters, so some more specific things that 📮 #voters are judging the candidates by."
Both Democratic strategist @jz_OFAWI and Republican @BillMcCoshen11 agree there wasn't a specific moment in last week's debate that could hang over either @DavidCCrowley or @TomTiffanyWI's campaign in the final full week on the campaign trail.

It's the latest example of wealthy donors giving to political parties, which have then transferred money to other committees.
3 donors have gave @WisGOP $39.2 million between Jan. 1 and Sept. 23. The party had transferred nearly $34.4 million to @TomTiffanyWI over that period.

“Our country 🇺🇲 faces many challenges, and I am continuing to fight to solve those challenges and those problems for each and every one of you,” @RepTonyWied said.
@RickCrossonWI, on the other hand, took Wied to task for failing to place checks ✅️ on the @realDonaldTrump administration’s #tradewars and #military action.
That played out early on in Thursday's @WFRVLocal5-hosted debate in sparring over the 🇮🇷 #Iran war.

#Wisconsin voters 🗳 cast 55,659 #absenteeballots in person on the first day of early voting, a 65% spike 📈 compared to four years ago.
In terms of raw numbers, Dane and Milwaukee counties had the largest jumps. ➡️ But on a percentage basis, some of the largest increases were reported by clerks in #rural areas.

.@WisGOP gubernatorial candidate @TomTiffanyWI accused @WisDems rival @DavidCCrowley of flipflopping 🔁 on tax breaks for #datacenters.
Crowley fired back that Tiffany couldn’t be trusted on the issue, saying the Minocqua congressman has voted for #taxbreaks going to #bigtech companies and fasttracking the development of data centers without proper 🌏 environmental reviews or input from local #communities.

As the public’s wariness about artificial intelligence grows, the midterm elections are primed to serve as a barometer of voter enthusiasm for candidates who support regulations and a window into what kind of guardrails could come in 2027.
