With a seemingly limitless amount of resources, WMC is able to influence legislation and legislators through its multifaceted approach. The methods WMC uses are not exclusive to the organization and its entities, but the volume of communications and the amount it spends are unmatched.

The current WMC Board of Directors has contributed over $1.135 million to political candidates both inside and in some cases, outside of the state. The following information was compiled from the Wisconsin Campaign Finance Information System, the Federal Election Commission and from the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign database of campaign contributions.

WMC board members and staff have overwhelmingly supported Republicans and non-partisan conservative candidates. Of the $1,135,541 donated by WMC board and staff, 82 percent – or $930,746 was given to Republicans ($893,329) and conservatives ($37,417).

This compares to 18 percent – or $204,795 given to Democrats ($193,595) and liberals ($11,200).
