Send $5 to support my re-election campaign so I can continue my work in the Senate to shine a light of transparency on dark money >>>
A new report revealed that dark money groups are spending record money to influence the 2024 elections, outpacing all prior elections.
Of course, the Supreme Court's disastrous Citizens United decision is to blame for this. The Supreme Court itself said dark money is corrupting, yet the same justices who unleashed the floodgates of unlimited money have refused to revisit their decision.
The corrupting flood of dark money from the billionaires and corporations intent on drowning out the voices of regular people has increased every year, and now, in an election year in which democracy itself is on the ballot, it’s at a record high.
Whether it’s gun manufacturers using dark money to block legislation that would remove dangerous weapons from our streets or Big Oil’s dark money buying off the Republican party so they’ll kill any bill to lead our planet to safety, the American people are taking notice.
I'm the chief antagonist of the dark money groups that are trying to take our country backwards, and they would love to try to stop me from winning re-election so they can continue influencing our government from the shadows.
That’s why I’m asking: Can you donate today ahead of our end-of-quarter fundraising deadline to send me back to the Senate this year so I can expose the deep-pocketed interests blocking progress on our country’s most pressing issues?
Thank you,
Sheldon Whitehouse
