Five Ron Johnson Corruption Scandals to Remember Before the WI Senate Debate

Oct 07, 2022

Yes, we know there are a lot more than five

Ahead of the Wisconsin Senate debate tonight, we wanted to remind everyone of the top five Ron Johnson corruption scandals he needs to be held accountable for. And trust us, there were a lot to choose from:

  1. He carved out a $215 million tax loophole for just three of his billionaire backers who spent over $20 million to re-elect him.

  2. He passed a corporate tax handout that he admitted he and his wealthy donors benefitted from.

  3. He blocked an investigation into one of his Big Pharma donors, then voted against lowering prescription drug costs.

  4. He used taxpayer money to fly to his beachfront mansion in Florida.

  5. Throughout his time in the Senate, his net worth has doubled, which he complained was not enough money for him.

“Ron Johnson only cares about himself and his wealthy donors, and that hurts Wisconsin families. While he and his billionaire donors enjoy their multi-million dollar tax handout, Wisconsin families have been struggling with corporate greed gouging prices. He needs to be held accountable for his corruption,” said End Citizens United // Let America Vote spokesperson Tina Olechowski.
