Kim Schrier must reject foreign money benefitting her campaign

Kim Schrier says she opposes dark money, but she 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 Schrier, skirts the ban on foreign money in campaigns.

Kim Schrier said, “Our political system is under attack from big-moneyed special interests that pour millions into elections” and “It’s time we put an end to this decade of dark money.” Yet, Schrier benefitted from Wyss’ foreign influence. 

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