Also: Start with “Koch” in the search window, move to Noteworthy Contributors and “Koch Industries” (scrolling through the analyses there), then filter to 2010 donations. Then filter further to “WI” recipients, then to JACQUE, ANDRE and his recipient/donor profile. Finally, click to his committee link, Criminal Justice and Corrections, which shows he and the chairman were the only recipients of Koch dollars. Other links were to the PULSE tool, showing Arizona before and after public-financing, 2010 vs 1998, the National Overview Map showing Electric Utilities donations, and finally the Point of Influence mapping feature.
