| Description | Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker has pulled in more than $272,000 from 128 large donors in recent months, including a broad array of business and political leaders, in his still unofficial Republican quest for governor in 2010.
His latest campaign finance report shows a burst of fund-raising activity late last year, with a total of $413,000 in donations and a cash balance of more than $360,000 at year's end. His 128 big donors each gave $1,000 or more.
Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle had $1.4 million in his account at the end of 2008. His fund-raising ability has discouraged many Republicans about their prospects in 2010, when Doyle has said he plans to run again, said Chris Lato, a political consultant and former state Republican Party official.
Walker goes to Washington, D.C., for a fund-raiser today, hosted by Wisconsin's three Republican House members and former Republican Gov. Tommy G. Thompson. |
