Hello John --
Last week federal campaigns filed their quarterly reports with the Federal Election
Commission. These reports show how much money a candidate raised, how they spent their funds, and -most
importantly!- who is funding their campaign!
My opponent, a Trump-supporting Republican Congressman, accepted $332,300 from corporations and interest groups trying to buy influence in Congress in this election cycle alone.
Here are just a few of the corporate and right-wing organizations backing my opponent:
Defense contractors
International lawfirms AND corporations
Coal and fracking companies
The NRA
Koch industries
Anti-choice and anti-LGBTQ groups
In fact, Doug Lamborn has accepted more than $60,000 from Koch Industries alone.
Our campaign has refused corporate contributions; we are powered by the people, not executives and lobbyists.
Here is my challenge to our supporters: will 100 donors chip in $50 each to match what Koch kicked-in to my opponent with one check?
2020 MUST be the year that we return the power to the PEOPLE and end the influence of corporations and extremist groups with lots of money.
Thank you for standing with us in this uphill battle against the tycoons of Wall Street and lobbyists on K Street.
Gratitude and solidarity,
Jillian Freeland
Democratic candidate for the US House, Colorado's Fifth District
