MADISON, Wis. – According to WisPolitics.com, Diane Hendricks, billionaire and a megadonor entrenched in GOP politics, has invited Republican gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels to a luncheon she is hosting. Michels has said he will not accept PAC money or large donations, but it certainly seems he will accept favors from billionaires. While Michels has run ads casting himself as a political outsider, he is in fact the ultimate insider – prior to announcing his run for governor, he made the pilgrimage to meet with Donald Trump in Mar-a-Lago and held a fundraiser at one of his houses for Senator Ron Johnson featuring many GOP heavyweights. Michels is not an everyday Wisconsinite. He was on the board of the state’s largest business lobby, and he doesn’t even appear to live in Wisconsin full-time — he owns multimillion-dollar homes in Connecticut and New York, where he lived part time for at least 8 years.
