Committees that give to lawmakers

WTBA PAC

PAC

What this committee gave today's legislators, from campaign finance filings with the Wisconsin Ethics Commission. A contribution isn't an endorsement of any particular vote.

What it gave

It gave $2,000 to 4 of today's 132 legislators in 2025–2026, across 6 receipts.

By the legislator's party: $1,500 to Democrats and $500 to Republicans. These totals leave out 31 sitting legislators whose receipts we haven't collected: 22 Democrats and 9 Republicans.

Counts gifts to today's legislators only. A committee's money comes from its own contributors, listed under “Its own money” when it files its own reports.
