The Political Integrity Pledge is Good Electoral Politics pt. 4

On the biggest primary night of the year our anti-corruption coalition continued to grow.

You do not need corporate cash to win an election.

Tuesday’s results only solidified that fact.

Six candidates that took the Political Integrity Pledge won their primaries, and at least two other candidates will likely advance to the November elections once California finishes counting their votes.

In New Jersey, Adam Hamawy, Analilia Mejía, and Rebecca Bennett all won their primaries without corporate cash.

In Montana, Sam Forstag won the MT-01 primary without corporate cash.

In Iowa, Dave Dawson won the IA-04 primary without corporate cash.

In California, Angela Gonzales-Torres advanced to the general without corporate cash. She is up against Rep. Jimmy Gomez who accepted $133,000 in corporate PAC money last cycle.

Once the votes are tallied, we expect Randy Villegas, Mai Vang, and possibly 1-2 other California candidates to also advance to the general with $0 in corporate cash in their bank accounts.

Come November, we are already set to have over 30 candidates on the verge of entering Congress who have all pledged to:

• Reject corporate PAC money

• Support a stock trading ban and hold no individual stocks

• Support a five-year lobbying ban

• Support overturning Citizens Untied

Our anti-corruption coalition keeps growing. We are just getting started.

Thanks,
