Lazar defends Wisconsin Supreme Court amid financial disclosures

Conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court Candidate Maria Lazar Faces Scrutiny Over Fundraising

Conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Maria Lazar recently stated that “you can’t buy this court.” However, new reporting raises questions about this claim, as her campaign has received significant financial support from multiple billionaires. Campaign finance records reveal substantial maximum contributions from some of the wealthiest conservative donors in the country.

Wealthy Donors to Lazar’s Campaign

Several prominent billionaires have contributed to Maria Lazar’s campaign. Among them are:

Diane Hendricks, Wisconsin’s wealthiest billionaire and co-founder of ABC Supply, with an estimated net worth of $22.3 billion.
Elizabeth Uihlein, heir to the Schlitz brewing fortune and co-owner of Uline, whose family has invested heavily in conservative candidates and political action committees.
Tim Schmidt, chairman of the United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA), a prominent gun rights organization.

Campaign Funding Sources

The report indicates that Maria Lazar’s campaign is heavily reliant on these wealthy donors. Only 3.7% ($438,835) of her total fundraising came from small-dollar donations under $200.

Contextualizing Lazar’s Remarks

These fundraising totals provide additional context to Lazar’s comments regarding billionaire influence, particularly when compared to the primary sources of her campaign’s financial backing.
