Funding profile
Tony Wied
Republican · Representative for Wisconsin’s 8th district
Career totals · 2 elections · 2024–2026
$2.7 million
raised by Wied’s campaigns, everything from 2024 to 2026 added together.
35%
of it came from organized groups rather than from people giving on their own: at least $930,000 from PACs.
$699,000
was spent about Wied by outside groups. These are ads for or against them that their campaign cannot control, and none of it is part of the money above.
Every number on this page comes from Federal Election Commission filings, read on August 24, 2026. An election still under way keeps raising money, so its figure will have grown since. Check Wied on FEC.gov

The FEC records that a committee is a corporation; it does not record its industry. Those labels are ours, kept in a published list anyone can check. Where we have not labeled a giver we say “Other” rather than guessing.

“Unclassified” means the FEC records no organization type for that committee, which usually means a leadership PAC. We show it as unclassified rather than guessing which industry it belongs to.
Their money and their votes, side by side
For each industry that gave to Wied: the money, then the bills they voted on in that industry’s area of law. The Library of Congress assigns each bill’s subject, not us, so nothing here is picked to make a point.
This is not evidence that money bought a vote. People often donate to politicians who already agree with them. We show what was given and how Wied voted; the judgment is yours.

We do not score these or say which way a vote favored an industry, because that would be our opinion dressed up as a finding. Each bill links to the chamber’s own roll-call record. Industries where fewer than three bills came to a vote are left out, because a handful of votes cannot show a pattern.
Money spent about this member
Outside groups, usually super PACs, may spend without limit on ads for or against a candidate, as long as they do not coordinate with the campaign. Wied has no legal control over any of it.
This is not a donation. Nobody gave this money to Wied. It was spent on advertising about Wied, and money spent against a candidate is plainly not funding them. So it never gets added to the figures above.
$699,000
has been spent for or against Wied by outside groups. $5,523 supported Wied; $693,000 opposed Wied.

Election by election
The career figures above are the sum of these elections. Each row links to the Commission’s page for that election, where the numbers match line for line.
| Election | Raised | From PACs | Outside spending | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026in progress | $1.1 million | $597,000 55% | none | FEC |
| 2024 | $1.6 million | $333,000 21% | $699,000 | FEC |
Raised is everything the campaign took in for that election. From PACs is the slice of it given by political action committees. Outside spending is what other groups spent on ads about the race, for and against—it is not part of “Raised”. An election marked in progress is still raising money, so its figures are not final.
We never publish the names of individual donors, and anything we cannot source stays off the page. The methodology explains every such choice.
