Dana Wachs
Northwestern Wisconsin Democrat Dana Wachs announced Jan. 15 that his campaign raised more than $514,000 in 2017. Strong fundraising numbers from the Wachs for Wisconsin campaign were supported by donations from Wisconsinites all across the state, with 79 percent of his donors giving $100 or less.
“I’m humbled by the support from Wisconsin workers and families,” said Wachs. “I am on the road almost every day meeting more voters, talking to people about the issues that matter most to them, and working to earn their support in the primary and in the general election. I know that we can defeat Walker this November and every donation brings us one step closer to that.”
Wachs was an attorney for more than 31 years and spent three terms in the State Legislature.
“We know Walker has the backing of wealthy special interests that will funnel money into his campaign,” said Brita Olsen, deputy campaign manager. “Dana has built a strong campaign team prepared to take on Walker and the Republicans. His fundraising performance is a clear indication that we are in this race for the long haul.”
