Billionaires Hendricks and Uihlein Have Already Spent $9.5 Million for Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson

With another 1.4 million today...

Wisconsin megadonor Diane Hendricks gave $3.5 million to the super PAC backing Sen. Ron Johnson’s reelection last month, bringing her total this year to $6.5 million, according to the latest Federal Elections Commission (FEC) reports reviewed by the Center for Media and Democracy.

Hendrick’s latest contribution to Wisconsin Truth, a super PAC that only supports Johnson, was made on July 7 and reported to the FEC on July 28.

Together with Elizabeth Uihlein–who has given $3 million to the super PAC–the two billionaires have bankrolled more than 90% of the $10.3 million raised for Johnson by the PAC so far this year.

Hendricks lives in Wisconsin and is the owner of ABC Supply, a construction supplies distributor. Uihlein is the co-owner of Uline, an office packaging and supplies company

So far, Wisconsin Truth has spent $9.2 million on Johnson’s reelection, largely on television and social media advertising.

Don’t expect the Media to point this corruption out anytime soon…all that cash goes to them!
