It’s the last day of the #TXSEN campaign, and we’re not holding our breath
that MJ Hegar is going to give up one of her longest running lies. 

 

Since Day 1, MJ has railed against money in politics. Yet, like her political
hero Elizabeth Warren, Hegar is not practicing what she preaches…

 

In her unsuccessful run for Congress, Hegar was identified by watchdog group,
OpenSecrets.org,as one of the cycle’s biggest Corporate-to-Leadership PAC
bait-and-switchers
<[link removed]>. Leadership PACs
take in Corporate PAC funds, then distribute them to other candidates. In her
#TXSEN race, MJ has taken in more than $131,000 from Leadership PACs.

 

More egregious: Chuck Schumer and dark money special interest groups have
poured nearly $34 million into MJ Hegar’s campaign. Silicon Valley billionaires
alone have dumped $18 million into ads in these final weeks. Getting outside
groups to flood the airwaves the last couple weeks of the election has been
MJ’s game plan in the primary, run off, and now general. 

 

And we’re not the first to call out her hypocrisy.

 

Sen. Royce West in July: “My opponent said in the newspaper this week that she
wants to see the influence of big money taken out of politics. Maybe that's
true - as long as you are talking about everyone else's money but her own… 

 

“Hegar and her Washington allies will pump more than a million dollars into
television ads to try to buy this runoff election. It's worth pointing out that
part of the big spend will come from a super PAC - the kind of group, exempted
from reporting and transparency requirements, that those who want to clean up
government are usually against. My opponent has even spoken out against these
types of groups.”

 

Yet, Hegar’s spokesperson criticized primary opponent Cristina Tzintzún
Ramirez in February saying, “You can’t say you’re ‘no PAC’ when on Day One
there’s a PAC standing next to you” (Dallas Morning News

). 

 

MJ warned of quid pro quos. Which begs the questions: 

What’s the motive of all these outside groups pushing for MJ’s election?

 

Does MJ not think it’s hypocritical to accept millions in Corporate PAC and
dark money, while saying she’s against both?

One last day to hold MJ to account.
