Unintimidated is a pro-Scott Walker super PAC. The PAC was formed in April 2015 by some of Walker's campaign aides to assist with fundraising efforts.[1] It is led by Keith Gilkes, Walker's former chief of staff.[2]
Unintimidated PAC's $1 million donors become members of the "Executive Board" and are promised bi-annual retreats, member-only briefings and conference calls, two private dinners with VIP special guests, and dedicated staff contact to cater to their needs. Other big donors can be members of the "Executive Committee" ($500,000 level) and the "Platinum Membership" ($250,000) and get similar perks.[3][4]
