Hogan alleged that in addition to straight-up donating $2,000 to Walker's campaign, Greene's campaign published more than $3,000 of Facebook advertisements supporting Walker's candidacy. He said the posts were coordinated with Walker's campaign and should count as an in-kind donation, which would therefore place her campaign above the $2,000 contribution limit.
