FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 09/18/2014
ANCHORAGE — Anchorage’s Channel 2 News (KTUU) recently reported on campaign contributions in this year’s U.S. Senate race. One graphic about the source of Dan Sullivan’s campaign donations stood out to Alaskans:
“Mark Begich is proud to have Alaskans as his leading donors and the driving force behind his campaign. Over 5,000 Alaskans have contributed to Mark Begich because of his record of visiting with Alaskans, delivering results and fighting for Alaska resource development, veterans and middle class families,” said Max Croes, Communications Director for Alaskans for Begich.
Dan Sullivan’s Ohio-based family has also come close to matching dollar-for-dollar the $477,000 Sullivan has raised from Ohio campaign contributors. Sullivan’s parents and brother have dropped $400,000 into Alaska on TV ads attacking Mark Begich, Mead Treadwell and Joe Miller
Mark Begich believes Alaska’s campaign finance requirements should be adopted at the national level to increase transparency in our elections. Visit Mark Begich’s Campaign Finance Plan to learn more about his specific plans for fighting Citizens United and increasing campaign transparency.
