Could Robin Vos be vulnerable in the upcoming election? [View all]

Kick this fucker's ass to the curb District #63!

Independent spending in the Racine-area race against Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Burlington) skyrocketed over the past week

A week ago on Monday about $19,300 had been reported in express spending by outside advocacy groups in the 63rd Assembly District where Vos is being challenged by Democrat Joel Jacobsen in a rematch, according to a Wisconsin Democracy Campaign (WDC) report.

A week later that amount surged to $300,000, or almost 15 times greater, in outside expenditures, according to WDC records, most of it against Vos. (Around $45,000 was spent in support of Jacobsen.)

The largest expenditure was $175,300 by A Better Wisconsin Together, which spent $175,000 against Vos and roughly $300 promoting Jacobsen. Two years ago Vos easily beat Jacobsen, getting 61% of the vote. Jacobsen spent less than $5,000 in that race.
