If you’re at home, look around, and see if you can find any paper bags or cardboard shipping boxes. Most likely, those bags or boxes were made by the Uihlein Company.
The Uihlein family has been a big money donor to conservative candidates across the country for years, but how did they amass so much power over American politics?
That’s the topic of the newest ProPublica story, written by Megan O’Matz, Justin Elliot, and Doris Burke. Earlier today, O’Matz sat down with WORT Producer Nate Wegehaupt to talk about what she found about the Uihlein family.
Megan O’Matz is a Pulitzer Prize finalist reporter with ProPublica, where she covers issues out of Wisconsin. You can read her newest story on the Uihlein family here.
