Iowa Democrat Senate hopeful Mike Franken has taken money to help fund his campaign from multiple PACs that take in corporate contributions despite having a self-imposed pledge not to take in “one dime of corporate PAC money.”
Franken received $1.7 million in campaign contributions in the last fundraising quarter and outraised the incumbent, but Grassley still holds more cash in hand. Grassley also won his previous election in 2016 by roughly 25 points.
A spokesperson for Franken told the Beacon that he “has never taken a dime from corporate PACs.” but did not comment on the other corporate donations. On the other hand, Matt Dailer, Grassley’s campaign manager, said that the Democrat should either return the donations or just “admit his pledge was nothing more than a hollow stunt.”
“Mike Franken hasn’t even been elected to office and he’s already breaking his word to Iowans,” Dailer added. “He can make up any excuse he wants, but Iowans see through his dishonest word games.”
