Record spending in Wisconsin Supreme Court race still climbing
The fight over the balance of the Wisconsin Supreme Court has led to record campaign spending that's still on the rise.
"It's staggering, I mean, we've never seen anything like it, anywhere in the country," said Bill McCoshen, a Republican campaign strategist.
According to the latest campaign finance reports, Judge Janet Protasiewicz's campaign raised more than $13 million this year through March 20. Former Supreme Court Justice Dan Kelly's campaign brought in just over $2.3 million.
But that's just direct campaign contributions.
"We're already north of $40 million and we have five days to go," said McCoshen.
