Michael Huebsch

Michael Huebsch is the current Secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA), having been appointed by current Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.

Ties to the American Legislative Exchange Council
Huebsch is also a former state chair of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), having been a member during his eight terms in the Wisconsin State Assembly, where he spent four years serving on the Wisconsin legislature’s Joint Finance Committee, two years as the Assembly Majority Leader and two years as the Assembly Speaker. He also formerly served on ALEC's Energy, Environment and Agriculture Task Force.

Though he won his 2010 election to remain a state representative, he chose to resign after Walker chose him as head of the DOA. During that election cycle, he reported receiving $3,610 in "non-contribution" campaign income from ALEC, which accounted for 3.7% of his campaign cash, according to FollowTheMoney.org. The donation was the largest single source of campaign income he received, exceeding by nearly $3,000 the largest contribution.

Koch PAC Campaign Finance
Koch PAC gave Huebsch $500 before his 2010 Assembly election. Koch Industries also gave Huebsch $500 before his 2006 election, and $250 before his 2004 election.
