A "coalition of Wisconsin residents" that has been running TV attack ads against Sen. Ron Johnson (R.) is a front for a massive dark money group based in Washington, D.C., according to corporate registration records.

Opportunity Wisconsin said it has pumped at least $4 million into negative Johnson ads—including one on Friday blasting him for benefiting from a tax cut he helped pass—making it the most prevalent anti-Johnson group on the state’s airwaves. On its website, Opportunity Wisconsin bills itself as a "coalition of Wisconsin residents fighting for an economy that works for all Wisconsinites, not just the wealthy few" and touts a steering committee composed of state-level progressive activists.
