Financial controversies surround both U.S. Senate candidates in Wisconsin

(The Center Square) – Both U.S. Senate candidates from Wisconsin accuse each other of lacking fiscal transparency, and each deny harboring conflicts of interest. But recent investigations show incumbent Democrat Sen. Tammy Baldwin and Republican challenger Eric Hovde are equally opaque about certain financial circumstances.

Hovde is the CEO of California-based Sunwest Bank, and a July report by WCPT820 Radio shows the company received foreign government deposits totaling nearly $250,000 in December 2023.
