Folks — As our public fundraising deadline at the end of the month quickly approaches, we want to make sure you’re up-to-date on the latest in this race. Here’s what the National Journal just said about one of Tammy’s potential self-funding GOP challengers, Eric Hovde:
“Political observers say upwards of $100 million or more will be needed to flip the seat and Hovde appears to be the best option thanks to his personal wealth.”
Our next big public fundraising deadline is just a few weeks away, and a weak fundraising report would be the perfect signal for a wealthy opponent like mega-millionaire Eric Hovde to jump into this race.
It won’t be easy standing up against a challenger with a virtually unlimited war chest, especially in a race where the stakes are this high.
With only two seats standing between Republicans and the Senate majority, the GOP will spend whatever it takes to flip Wisconsin and scoop up Tammy’s Senate seat — even if it’s upwards of $100 million.
