Kentucky Dem Gov Candidate Adam Edelen’s Campaign Cash Hypocrisy

While Adam Edelen claims he has pledged to reject corporate PAC money, he doesn’t want Kentuckians to know that he’s already accepted over $80,000 in PAC money – including corporate PACs – for his previous campaigns.

“Adam Edelen’s hypocrisy knows no bounds. From accepting over $80,000 in PAC money in his past campaigns to the hundreds of thousands in Super PAC dollars being spent on his behalf as we speak, his pledge rings as hollow as his pie-in-the-sky promises,” said RGA Communications Director Amelia Chassé Alcivar. “It’s hardly surprising that Edelen is throwing out red herrings since he knows he can’t run on his far-left agenda that’s completely out-of-touch with Kentucky voters.”
