I’m the only Democrat in the U.S. Senate race in California who has never taken a dime of corporate PAC money and doesn’t take contributions from lobbyists. Here’s the story behind it.
A few years ago I attended a reception for newly elected Members in DC. A lobbyist came up to me and said "Well, I guess you’re one of the new Members we’ll never see." I asked him why. He said it was because I didn’t take corporate PAC money.
Since that day, I’ve said clearly -- if lobbyists want to meet with me, they better bring their good ideas, not their checkbooks. There are lobbyists for organizations like Progressive Change and Planned Parenthood who I’m happy to work with and learn from. I've partnered with the PCCC on many issues important to families and working people. But no matter who you are lobbying for, I’m proud to prove that I won’t be swayed by your check.
As Members of Congress, we’re privileged to be in positions of power, and we should use our power to stand up to the status quo and corporate special interests.
Californians deserve to know that their Senator works for them. Whether it’s using my whiteboard to hold Wall Street CEOs accountable or passing legislation to prevent Big Pharma from raising prices, I’m proud to fight for working people.
Our campaign is funded by real, working people, and our average contribution this week is $31. I rely on supporters like you chipping in to keep our campaign afloat.
