They found conservative group Wisconsin Alliance for Reform spent about $1.9 million on television ads supporting Bradley. The Greater Wisconsin Group spent about $381,360 on television ads supporting Kloppenburg. The three candidates raised a combined $1.9 million.
Government watchdog group Wisconsin Democracy Campaign reported Wednesday that outside groups supporting Bradley outspent groups backing Kloppenburg almost four-to-one.
