Mary Peltola must reject foreign money benefitting her campaign

Mary Peltola 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 Mary Peltola, skirts the ban on foreign money in campaigns.

Mary Peltola said, “I’m really proud of the fact that I don’t have any special interest money in my campaign. There’s no dark money.” Yet, Peltola benefitted from Wyss’ foreign influence. 

“Mary Peltola is a liar and a hypocrite bankrolled by a foreign billionaire’s dark money conspiracy. Peltola 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
