GOP still looking for challenger to Rep. Wood
The GOP is still looking for a candidate to try to mount a write-in campaign in Tuesday's primary to get on the fall ballot against independent Jeff Wood.
GOP spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski said the party remained hopeful a candidate could be found. Republicans would need their write-in, whose name won't appear on the primary ballot, to get about 500 votes on Tuesday to qualify for the fall election.
Wood's pre-primary report shows he had $2,450 in donations during the period and had $6,568 in his war chest. His individual donations included $100 from Dem state Rep. Barbara Toles of Milwaukee.
The state GOP had asked Wood to return donations he received through a conduit designed to help elect Republican candidates. His report only listed a returned contribution of $100 to Citizens for Renewable Energy and refunds to two donors who had exceeded the $500 limit for an Assembly candidate.
