Walker got 4 donations totaling $1 million

Posted:

MADISON (WKOW) -- Gov. Scott Walker collected $1 million from four donors over a one-week period earlier this week, according to his latest campaign finance report.

The report was filed with state on Monday. It covers the period December 11 through January 17. Of the $1 million collected, $250,000 came from conservative Texas financier Bob Perry. The three others who gave Walker $250,000 each were Missouri residents.

Over those five weeks Walker amassed $4.5 million. Since the beginning of last year he has raised $12.1 million.

Walker can collect more that $10,000 per donor because state law allows those targeted for a recall to raise unlimited funds until an election is called. The Wisconsin Government Accountability Board is currently reviewing 1.9 million petition signatures against Walker and five other Republicans.
