MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Former Republican candidate for Wisconsin governor Tim Michels is suing a conservative organizer who says the Michels campaign never paid him for hosting rallies and reaching out to voters on their behalf in the 2022 midterm. Bob Dohnal, publisher of the Wisconsin Conservative Digest, filed a complaint with the Wisconsin Ethics Commission on May 2 claiming that Michels’ campaign staff verbally agreed to pay him $100,000 to cover the costs of political events he hosted. Michels sued three weeks later alleging that Dohnal was lying and that the campaign had never hired him. Michels lost to Democratic Gov. Tony Evers in 2022.
