Bryan Steil reported the impressive fundraising totals Wednesday. He says the campaign which launched in late April after Ryan announced his retirement has more than $615,000 cash on hand.
Steil is a member of the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents who has gotten the retiring speaker’s endorsement in the race that includes other less prominent Republican challengers.
