Candidate Who Promised Not to Take Corporate Money Allegedly Took Corporate Money

A recent NOTUS review of financial records found that the congressional campaign of Paige Cognetti, the mayor of Scranton, Pennsylvania, accepted funding from political committees that have accepted large amounts of corporate money.

According to NOTUS, Cognetti has accepted donations from numerous political committees that receive large sums of money from corporate PACs, including money from Boeing, JPMorgan Chase, and UnitedHealthcare.

Cognetti is running to unseat Rep. Josh Bresnahan, R-Pa., possibly changing the balance of power in the House of Representatives.

The progressive candidate has taken at least $5,000 from Blue Hen Federal PAC, a committee sponsored by Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., NOTUS reported. That committee “has received hundreds of thousands of dollars this election cycle from a who’s who of corporate and trade association PACs,” the outlet wrote.

The outlet also reported that Coons’ committee is tied to companies including Visa, Pfizer, Northrop Grumman, FedEx, Google, McKinsey, Eli Lilly, and Fox Corp., among others.

Blue Hen Federal PAC did not return the Daily Signal’s request........
