Folks – In his 22 years in office, my opponent has taken more than $5.7 MILLION in corporate PAC money.
In this cycle alone, 60% of Rick’s funding comes from PACs, with nearly half a million dollars (70% of his PAC funding) from corporate PACs. And most of his donors represent industries he oversees in his congressional duties.
My fellow constituents and I have confronted Rick Larsen numerous times over the years about this obvious conflict of interest. But he insists this money does not affect his policy.
You might be wondering: Is that true?
(Spoiler alert: It isn’t.)
The truth is, the line between payouts and policy is often very direct. Here’s Rick Larsen in 2019 tweeting in support of oil pipeline expansions in our district just hours after accepting a contribution from the corporate PAC affiliated with the Keystone XL Pipeline:

Everything about Rick’s tweet is a farce. From the absurd claim that support for oil and gas pipelines is a responsible energy policy that helps “mitigate the effects of climate change,” to the very idea that his policy position isn’t connected to the money he just pocketed the day before.
I’ve never taken a dime from corporate PACs or lobbyists – and this is why. I refuse to let our policies be dictated by billionaires or corporations.
I’m running for Congress to fight for working families and to pass the Green New Deal.
You can’t claim to take the climate emergency seriously when you’re puffing up pipelines or walking around with thousand-dollar checks from oil companies in your pocket.
