Scroll down this page to see who he funded.

I'm guessing Restoration Pac is his own & the vary name sounds like maga bs.
Restore? Really? He funded Repukes in 2016!!

Heres a list of some donors.

https://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/pacgave2.php?cmte=C00571588&cycle=2016

It lists no recipients in 2016 however.
Suspicious ..need to do research on the biggest donor:
UIHLEIN, RICHARD E
LAKE FOREST, IL 60045

He gave a lot of cash.
Who is this?

He gave $24 million in campaign donations in 2016. Maybe he started this PAC.
Anyone know who he backed?
Hmmm

His campaign donation list from 2016. Republicans!

they have a ton of investments and interests in wis. they own a lot of timber land, make a lot of their paper up there, and have high hopes for extractive industries up there.
they are infiltrating down to the county board level.

we need a real strategy, as a party, to win in areas like this where their money is on the line.
but it's gonna be ugly up there.
