Below is a list of every member of the Board of Directors of Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce, Inc. and the Wisconsin Chamber of Commerce Foundation, Inc., along with the total amount of contributions given by each member to politicians and candidates.

Members of the Board of Directors have donated over $1.15 million to political candidates. This includes nearly $950,000 to Republican or (non-partisan conservative) candidates and $208,000 to Democratic (or non-partisan liberal) candidates - meaning Republicans and conservatives have received 82 percent of WMC Board of Directors' giving.

For more information about the political giving of WMC board members and staff and a detailed report about the overwhelming amounts given by WMC-affiliated individuals to Republican and conservative candidates, visit the 'Board & Staff Giving' page of WMC Watch.
