MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — A “Zuckerbucks” constitutional amendment has passed the Wisconsin State Senate.
Green Bay Republican Eric Wimberger warned against private funding for elections like that provided by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg in 2020.
“Do you live in a Zuckerberg city or a Koch brothers city?” asked Wimberger. “This double dark money has got to stop.”
Onalaska Democrat Brad Pfaff said he wasn’t there to defend Zuckerberg.
“Lord knows he has enough money, and enough lobbyists that he can defend himself,” said Pfaff. “I’m here to defend our county and municipal clerks.”
The amendment and two others dealing with elections are now ready for votes in the Assembly.
