MADISON, Wis. – The Republican Party of Wisconsin is heading into the November election with the strongest fundraising position in recent memory. Year-to-date, WisGOP has raised $42.3 million. In this reporting cycle alone, the party has raised $29.6 million, more than the party raised in 2018, 2020, 2022, or 2024.

Republicans have more resources than in any recent cycle and have outraised Wisconsin Democrats by $30 million this year.

“These numbers are no accident. They’re a signal,” stated WisGOP Chairman Brian Schimming. “Wisconsin Republicans are unified, donors are all-in, and we have one of the strongest competitive edges we’ve had in years. We’re expanding the field, recruiting poll workers, and putting resources behind candidates who will fight for taxpayers. Democrats can spin all they want. The cash on hand tells the real story: momentum is on our side heading into November.”

This fundraising haul positions WisGOP to support statewide and legislative candidates, grow voter-contact operations, and defend Republican majorities.

BACKGROUND: The following fundraising totals are what WisGOP raised for the 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2024 cycles.

  • 2018: $15.3 million
  • 2020: $24.8 million
  • 2022: $16.9 million
