As we enter the final stretch of the 2020 election cycle, with candidates squaring off in debates and making their final pitches to voters, it’s important to remember that Karen Handel has cashed $524,000 from corporate PACs over the course of her career. These corporate special interests include but are not limited to: Big Pharma, health insurance PACs and Big Oil.
“While Georgia voters call for an end to the rampant corruption and pay-to-play culture in Washington, Karen Handel is taking sides with the corporate special interests that fund her campaign. The fact that she’s already taken $524,000 from corporate special interests tells you everything you need to know about who she’s running to represent,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller. “Contributions like these are the reason why peoples’ voices aren’t heard in Washington.”
During the 2018 election cycle, corporate PACs spent over $419 million to influence elections, which includes $185 million contributed directly to candidates running for office. That’s 40% of all PAC giving, making it the largest source of PAC giving in the country.
