Tens of millions of dollars in Super PAC money flowed into Illinois’ primary race: crypto, AI, and dark money PACs that hide where the money came from. AIPAC spent $22 million through shell PACs and never even talked about Israel. Sadly, we’re going to see it in our primaries x.com/kenvogel/statu…cepts AIPAC's support. I don’t. Dark money erodes public trust in our democratic process. That’s why I passed the strongest local law in the country – so donors have to sign their names on IEs in NYC. It’s time to get dark money out of politics.
Somewhat anti-crypto

If there’s a takeaway from the Illinois primary results, it’s that we need to act NOW to banish dark money from our politics. Crypto, AI, and AIPAC sloshed tens of millions of dollars into these primaries. Many of the ads they ran were deeply deceptive and intended to trick voters. When unaccountable special interests spend this much money on our elections, we all lose. In NYC, I passed a best-in-class Independent Expenditure Disclosure Act, which requires public disclosure of the top 3 individuals who fund an IE. I also helped strengthen NYC’s public campaign finance matching funds program, one of the most robust in the country. I’m running for Congress to bring those policies nationwide and help clean up our politics. In a battle against Super PACs and their dark money, it’s time for a congressmember who’s on the people’s side.
Very anti-crypto
