Republican Gov. Scott Walker raised $1.2 million in July, leaving him with $7.1 million on hand ahead of the August 12 primary, new campaign finance reports show.

The state Government Accountability Board required candidates to file finance reports covering roughly the month leading up to a primary by Monday at 11:59 p.m. Walker doesn't face a GOP opponent, but Mary Burke and Brett Hulsey are vying for the Democratic nomination.

Walker filed reports Monday showing he raised $1.2 million from July 1 through July 28 and spent $1.6 million. He has raised $9.5 million so far this year and spent $7 million.

The governor also reported $76,250 in contributions collected after July 28.

Burke and Hulsey hadn't filed their preprimary reports by late Monday evening. Burke spokesman Joe Zepecki said campaign workers were still preparing her preprimary report. Hulsey said he didn't have his report ready yet, either.

Burke's latest report on file with the board shows she raised $3.6 million and spent $2.4 million over the first six months of the year. She had $2.5 million in the bank as of June 30 and had collected $21,000 since July 28.

Hulsey's latest report shows he raised $2,488 and spent $1,730 over the same period. He had $946 on hand at the end of June.

Meanwhile, in the race for state attorney general, Republican hopeful Brad Schimel's campaign said he had $418,000 in the bank as of July 28. He raised $53,970 and spent $36,000. He also reported $5,500 in contributions after July 28.

Schimel, the Waukesha County district attorney, is the only Republican in the race. Incumbent Republican Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen isn't running for a third term.

1. Wow, I just Googled Hulsey because I knew little about him, and

it appears that he's a genuine nutcase!

…
A separate police report says that same day Hulsey told an officer he was going to train with Fuller to show him how to protect himself from an attack by someone with a box cutter. Hulsey showed the box cutter to the officer, though he did not extend the blade. The officer did not take the box cutter.

Hulsey also demonstrated a compliance hold on the officer and told him he was going to use some of the karate he'd learned when he was younger, according to that report.

"This contact made me very nervous," the officer wrote in his report. "I've talked with Representative Hulsey in the past and it appeared to me Representative (Hulsey) had a thousand-yard stare."

Hulsey told a sergeant who followed up with the lawmaker that day that he wanted to train his aide and said in 2011 a protester had entered his office with a box cutter. The sergeant told Hulsey he thought the matter resulted from a series of miscommunications and asked him not to display the box cutter in the Capitol again. Hulsey said he would take it home.

The aide said Hulsey had also attempted to bring a gun onto the Assembly floor in January. In an interview in his Capitol office Tuesday, Hulsey said that he had never actually brought a gun into the statehouse and didn't have a concealed-weapons permit. He acknowledged that he did ask an officer if he could carry one of the guns he owns, a muzzleloading rifle, onto the Assembly floor and was told by the officer that he could not in part because it is a long gun and only handguns are permitted.
