Marie Gluesenkamp Perez must reject foreign money benefitting her campaign

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez 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 on how Wyss’ foreign dark money network, which paid for TV ads benefitting Gluesenkamp Perez, skirts the ban on foreign money in campaigns.

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez said, “Dark money has no place in our democracy.” Yet, Gluesenkamp Perez benefitted from Wyss’ foreign influence. 

“Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is a liar and a hypocrite bankrolled by a foreign billionaire’s dark money conspiracy. Gluesenkamp Perez 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
