fact check

Multimillionaire Washington lobbyist Dan Kohl released a new ad today in which he says he’s “not a politician.”

That’s correct, but he forgot to mention it’s because voters rejected him in spectacular fashion.

Here’s a quick reminder: Kohl ran for the Assembly in 2008, set a new state spending record, and came in third in a four-way primary. Then he fled to Washington and became a lobbyist.

Given the fact that Dan Kohl supported “the biggest tax increase in state history,” I can’t say I’m surprised at that outcome.
