Wisconsin also requires candidates to report any donations of $1,000 or more that these candidates received since the reporting period ended, and Protasiewicz also lapped her rivals in the time between Feb. 7 through the 13th. She hauled in $196,000 of these donations, though Protasiewicz says she raised a total of $363,000 over the last week.

Dorow, by contrast, took in $31,000 in large late donations compared to $12,000 for Mitchell, while Kelly only received a single $1,000 contribution. Kelly, though, is hardly being left to fend for himself, though, as AdImpact reports that Fair Courts America, a super PAC funded by megadonors Dick and Liz Uihlein, has spent $1.8 million on advertising to help him. That’s just behind the $1.9 million that the progressive group A Better Wisconsin Together has deployed: The group’s spots have accused Dorow of issuing too lenient sentences, a tactic designed to convince the right-wing base to reject her this month.

Finally, the conservative super PAC Women Speak Out PAC says its spending “six figures” for … Kelly. The group, which is an affiliate of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, is sending out mailers touting the conservative man’s opposition to abortion rights.
