Wisconsin group running ad campaign alleged arm of liberal dark money giant

An organization called Opportunity Wisconsin is running a seven-figure ad campaign to unseat Reps. Bryan Steil (R-WI) and Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) in November. While the group maintains that it is a “coalition of Wisconsin residents,” corporate records show that it is a trade name for the North Fund, a massive Democrat-aligned dark money group based in the nation’s capital.

A trade name is an alias adopted and used by an entity that differs from its legal name, but under which it can still conduct business. “Opportunity Wisconsin,” thus, is one of the aliases under which the North Fund can operate.

“It’s disappointing, but not surprising, that out-of-state, dark money groups are again trying to mislead Wisconsin families,” Steil told the Washington Examiner.
