MADISON, Wis. (AP) - In an early sign of strength, newly announced Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Lisa Neubauer says she’s already raised more than $358,000.
That includes a personal loan of $250,000.
Neubauer publicly launched her candidacy last week, but a campaign finance report filed Monday shows she had been quietly raising money for the effort for weeks. The report shows she has nearly $358,000 cash on hand.

No other candidate has officially announced, but several are considering running. They include state appeals court judge Brian Hagedorn, Waukesha County Circuit Judge Maria Lazar and Jefferson County District Attorney Susan Happ.
