brian-hagedornElection watchdog group says Supreme Court Justice-elect failed to file occupation information as required by law on 159 contributors.


MADISON - The campaign committee of Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice-elect Brian Hagedorn failed to file occupational information required by law for 159 individual contributions totaling $70,106, according to a complaint filed Monday by the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign.

State law requires legislative and statewide candidates to identify the occupations of individuals who contribute more than $200 in a calendar year to their campaigns.

The contributions allegedly lacking the information were in Hagedorn’s latest campaign finance report, which covers fundraising and spending from Feb. 5 through March 18.

The 159 contributions with missing occupation information account for about 37 percent of the 426 contributions of over $200 in Hagedorn’s report. The $70,106 contributed by these 37 percent amounts to about 15 percent of $478,300 in contributions over $200 that were listed in the campaign report.
