Michele Magadance Skinner - yes, Magadance is apparently her real name - is an Eau Claire County Supervisor who is running for the Wisconsin State Senate against the Democratic incumbent, Jeff Smith. In 2025, Skinner claimed a Lottery and Gambling tax credit of nearly $200 on her Eau Claire County home. During the same year, Skinner and her husband also claimed a senior homestead tax exemption on their four-bedroom lake home in Dawson County, Georgia. Both states have laws stating that they can claim the benefits only if the home is their primary residence. The race is highly contested because it's seen as possibly determining the majority in the state senate.
