Charges Not Pursued Against Wisconsin Lawmaker in Campaign Finance Case

Waukesha County DA declines to file felony charges against Rep. Janel Brandtjen, citing insufficient evidence.

Waukesha County District Attorney Susan Opper decides not to pursue felony charges against Rep. Janel Brandtjen over alleged campaign finance violations.
The Wisconsin Ethics Commission had recommended charges based on accusations of evading campaign finance laws to unseat Assembly Speaker Robin Vos.
Despite the decision, Opper stated that the lack of charges does not clear Brandtjen of wrongdoing.
Multiple county prosecutors have declined to pursue charges, while the state attorney general may still be asked to prosecute.
The case involves alleged coordination between Trump's Save America PAC, Brandtjen, and local GOP officials to support a primary challenger to Vos.
