Outside election spending by special interest groups in this spring’s race for state school superintendent topped $1 million – a record, a Wisconsin Democracy Campaign preliminary review found. Pecatonica Area School Superintendent Jill Underly, who was backed by Democratic-leaning groups and contributors in the nonpartisan April 6 race, defeated Deborah Kerr, a retired Brown Deer School District superintendent, who was backed by GOP-leaning groups and contributors. Eight outside groups spent $1.02 million in the race, which sharply surpassed the previous record of $693,722 in the 2009 contest for state school superintendent.

Taylor did not seek to keep the position.  Kerr, former superintendent of Brown Deer Schools, has been backed by former Gov. Scott Walker and other conservatives, though she self-identified as a “pragmatic Democrat.” Left-leaning groups and politicians have aligned with Underly, superintendent of the Pecatonica School District in southwest Wisconsin.
