Salinas and Hoyle must reject foreign money benefitting their campaigns

Andrea Salinas and Val Hoyle say they oppose dark money, but they 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 ads benefitting Salinas and Hoyle, skirts the ban on foreign money in campaigns.

Andrea Salinas said she supports “trying to get dark money out of politics” and Val Hoyle said she supports “cracking down on corporate dark money in our elections.” Yet, Salinas and Hoyle benefitted from Wyss’ foreign influence.  

“Andrea Salinas and Val Hoyle are liars and hypocrites bankrolled by a foreign billionaire’s dark money conspiracy. Salinas and Hoyle must reject the foreign dark money used to prop up their political campaigns or be complicit in this perversion of the law.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
