Burke Backs Away from Self-Funding Expectations

Mary Burke (D) says she won’t be able to self-fund her campaign for Wisconsin governor, Wisconsin Public Radio reports.

“When Burke first floated the idea of running for governor, her personal wealth made her an appealing candidate to some Democrats and made others think twice about entering the race. The former Trek executive, whose father founded the company, has not disclosed her net worth, though she did donate more than $400,000 to her campaign in just its first few months.”
