The Democratic Party of Dane County filed a complaint March 28 against Ald. Tim Bruer, District 14, saying he violated several campaign finance regulations.
The county democratic league is accusing Bruer of accepting several donations exceeding $100, which is against state statutes for candidates exempt from Wisconsin campaign finance reporting laws, such as Bruer, who could face civil penalties.
DPDC chair Michael Basford formally requested the district attorney open an investigation into Bruer’s campaign finances and said in a press release Bruer has been violating the law for years.
Bruer has served as Council president during portions of his 30-year tenure and is up for re-election Tuesday.
