Campaign finance

2017

See also: Madison Metropolitan School District elections (2017)

Two seats on the Madison Metropolitan School District Board of Education were up for at-large general election on April 4, 2017. A total of six candidates filed for the seats. A primary election was held on February 21, 2017, because there were over twice as many candidates as seats on the board to be elected.[1]

Three newcomers filed for Seat 6, which was left open when board incumbent Michael Flores chose not to seek re-election. Ali Muldrow and Kate Toews advanced to the general election, defeating Cris Carusi in the primary. Toews defeated Muldrow in the general. In Seat 7, incumbent Ed Hughes filed for re-election and faced challengers Matt Andrzejewski and Nicki Vander Meulen in the primary. Hughes and Vander Meulen advanced to the general, but Hughes dropped out of the race in March. His name still appeared on the ballot, but Vander Meulen won the seat.[2][3][4][5]

Campaign Finance Ballotpedia.png

All school board candidates in Wisconsin were required to file a campaign registration statement with the Wisconsin Ethics Commission after qualifying as candidates. This statement declares their candidacy to the county clerk's office and allows them to claim exemption from reporting campaign contributions and expenditures. Candidates were only required to report campaign contributions and expenditures if they did one or both of the following:[7]

  • Accepted contributions, made disbursements, or incurred debt in excess of $2,000 during the calendar year
  • Accepted more than $100 from a single source during the calendar year, barring contributions made by candidates to their own campaigns

There were three campaign finance report deadlines in 2017:

  • The pre-primary report was due February 13, 2017,
  • The pre-election report was due March 27, 2017, and
  • The post-election report was due July 15, 2017.[8]

Candidates who filed before January 1, 2017, also had to file a continuing campaign finance report on January 16, 2017.[9]

Endorsements

Vander Meulen received official endorsements from the Cap Times, the Wisconsin Alliance for Retired Americans, the Wisconsin State AFL-CIO, Progressive Dane, and the Democratic Party of Dane County.[10][11][12][13][14]
