Local Prosecutors Pass on Filing Charges in Campaign Finance Case

Local Prosecutors Pass on Filing Charges in Campaign Finance Case

Another local prosecutor says he will not file charges in connection to a campaign finance case tied to Robin Vos’ 2022 opponent.

St. Croix County’s District Attorney Karl Anderson yesterday said he will not move ahead with charges against two locals for how they allegedly redirected money to the Adam Steen campaign. Wisconsin’s Ethics Commission suggested charges in the case. Investigators claim state Representative Janel Brandtjen, Steen, and others conspired to move money around Wisconsin’s campaign donation limits to benefit Steen when he ran against Assembly Speaker Robin Vos back in 2022. Prosecutors in Chippewa and Florence County have also passed on filing charges.

The Ethics Commission has said Wisconsin’s attorney general can take the case if local prosecutors opt not to file charges.
