The Washington Post points out that Gov. Scott Walker (R) “has a 50-state network of wealthy contributors and small donors far more expansive than expected for a Midwestern governor and former Milwaukee County executive.”
“The thick donor file is the byproduct of a contentious effort to recall Walker in 2012 after he pushed through a law curtailing collective bargaining rights for many public employees. Fighting the unions became a national cause on the right. Rich conservatives rallied to Walker’s side, including influential donors who are part of a network organized by billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch. Among his top supporters were the DeVos family of Michigan, casino magnate Sheldon Adelson and millionaire investor Foster Friess.”
