MADISON – All Children Matter, a Michigan-based special interest group that was fined $5.2 million for illegally assisting Republicans in Ohio, has returned to Wisconsin with a series of negative mailings designed to help Republican Assembly candidates.
“All Children Matter is a shady out-of-state organization that will do whatever it takes to help elect Republicans, including breaking the law,” said Joe Wineke, Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. “Now they are back in Wisconsin orchestrating political swift boat-style attacks to benefit Republican Assembly candidates. Wisconsin voters don’t want to hear from this group and they will reject these shameful tactics.”
