Washington, D.C. – Iowa Democrat Senate candidate Mike Franken pledged not to take Corporate PAC money, yet he side-stepped that pledge. Now, to make matters worse, he is taking money from problematic, liberal PACs and people.
Today’s problematic contributor to Franken’s campaign is Karen Tramontano, who’s firm Blue Star Strategies had Burisma (Hunter Biden served on its board during this time) as a client during the Obama administration.
Statement from NRSC Spokeswoman Lizzie Litzow: “Interesting move from Mike Franken. While Franken rails against money from corporate PACs, like John Deere employees, he has no problem taking money from problematic PACs and people who don’t align with Iowans’ values. Mike Franken’s embrace of sketchy D.C. insiders show Iowans what kind of politician he would be – a phony D.C. Democrat who chooses D.C. over Iowa.”
