Elissa Slotkin’s campaign may want to think about giving outside groups a fact sheet on all of the phony, easily disproven things about her campaign.

End Citizens United launched an ad today that claims “Elissa’s not taking corporate special interest money so she can focus on real people, not big money donors.”

Of course, Elissa Slotkin is one of the mega-donor darlings that this NYC alliance is bundling campaign contributions for.

From the NYT report:

“Major Democratic donors in New York have discreetly formed a new political alliance to raise roughly $10 million that would be injected into as many as two dozen key House battlegrounds in an effort to wrest control of Congress from Republicans.”

“One donor, who was approached about joining but declined and requested anonymity to speak candidly about the effort, said the group was raising the political profiles in Washington of its leaders by bundling donations from others.

“This is taking the Wall Street theory of ‘other people’s money’ and applying it to politics,” the donor said. “They want to be the ones to deliver the check, to be the players.”

“The group continues to solicit new partners to grow those sums even more, but has consciously tried to keep a low profile, aware that the idea of New York donors pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into races in Arizona, Nebraska and Michigan may not play well locally.”
