Madison -- A Republican campaign contributor has quietly ended the first recall effort filed against Gov. Scott Walker.

The effect of the recall committee created on Nov. 4 and then quietly terminated was to give Walker an extra week and half to raise campaign contributions with no limits that can be used to help defend the governor against the more serious recall attempts that were begun by Walker opponents on Nov. 15.

The Nov. 4 petition was filed by David Brandt of Muskego in Waukesha County. Brandt, a modest contributor to Walker and the state Republican Party, did not return a phone message Wednesday left seeking comment.

Reid Magney, a spokesman for the state Government Accountability Board, said Wednesday that Brandt didn’t raise money or turn in any signatures as part of his recall effort and has formally ended it.

4. true but all that out of state $$ still won't help him...He is a FAIL

In all, Walker has raised $7.6 million in donations since he took office on Jan 3. Of these, $3.2 million, or about 42 percent, came from out of state.
