[h=1]Senate candidate’s parents donate maximum amount to his opponent[/h]
The parents of a GOP candidate for the US Senate in Wisconsin have made the maximum contributions allowed in the race — to their son’s rival.
Kevin Nicholson announced in July that he would seek the Republican nomination to challenge incumbent Sen. Tammy Baldwin in the 2018 midterm elections.
In December, his parents, Donna and Michael Nicholson, each donated the maximum amount — $2,700 — to Baldwin, CNN reported.
Nicholson said he’s not surprised his parents would contribute to Baldwin, since they’ve always backed Democrats.
“My parents have a different worldview than I do, and it is not surprising that they would support a candidate like Tammy Baldwin who shares their perspective,” he said in a statement to CNN.
