Josh Harder must reject foreign money benefitting his campaign

Josh Harder says he opposes dark money, but he received support from foreign billionaire Hansjörg Wyss laundered through an opaque web of dark money vehicles.

AP reported today on how Wyss’ foreign dark money network, which paid for TV ads benefitting Harder, skirts the ban on foreign money in campaigns.

Josh Harder said, “Dark money is destroying our political system. It’s time to get it out” and “Dark money should not be allowed to determine our elections. This is crazy.” Yet, Harder benefitted from Wyss’ foreign influence. 

“Josh Harder is a liar and a hypocrite bankrolled by a foreign billionaire’s dark money conspiracy. Harder must reject the foreign dark money used to prop up his political campaign or be complicit in this perversion of the law.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
