MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A conservative advocacy group funded by the billionaire Koch brothers is launching a $1.8 million ad buy for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.
Americans for Prosperity-Wisconsin announced the TV, cable and digital ad buy on Tuesday. It’s the latest in a series of seven-figure ad buys in the race that pits the Republican Walker against the state schools chief, Democrat Tony Evers.
The AFP ad quotes positive comments from Evers for Walker’s most recent education budget, including calling it “pro-kid.”
Evers has said that he praised the additional spending for public schools because Walker was proposing much of what Evers put forward as state superintendent.
Walker has cast himself as an “education governor,” while Evers has said Walker is trying to hide his record cutting spending and attacking collective bargaining.
Hope it’s money well wasted…
so much for the idea that the Koch Group was actually going to stop backing the most evil candidates possible …
Walker is touted as the “education governor?” That’s hilarious!!! What a joke!!!
I’m having one of those days where the rot and stink of it all is really getting to me. The Kavanaugh jam-through makes me ill and I’m despairing. The court has packed a hearing on a plethora of conservative causes in October. Overcoming all of it seems impossible. Dems can’t even get documents on the relationship between Leonard Leo (a private citizen who led the way on Gorsuch and Kavanaugh) and this is democracy? The minority party has absolutely no leverage?
Sorry … off topic.
College flunk out and destroyer of Wisconsin public education is now being touted by his masters the Koch Bros as the education governor? It’s like Trump running for re-election as a patriot.
