Let's talk about scam PACs.
For years, I've been ringing the alarm bell about con artists who create fraudulent political committees that pretend to support grassroots causes but actually funnel money directly into consultants' pockets.
Now, the problem has gotten so bad that the Harris campaign is taking note:
Scam PACs lie and mislead to take in millions of dollars from well-meaning donors to line their own pockets. It's wrong, it's immoral, and it's harmful to our democracy.
That's why I've introduced two bills to hold these cheaters accountable. One would ban those who operate these PACs from enriching themselves or family members with the money they raise. The other would empower our country's election watchdog to go after these scammers and shut them down for good.
My time in Washington will soon come to an end. When it does, I want to make sure that there are anti-corruption champions in Congress who will continue the fights that I started. That's why I created Truth to Power—to elect the next generation of leaders who will take on scam PACs and other bad actors.
In many ways, Truth to Power is the anti-scam PAC. Not just because we're transparent about where your money goes—to directly support our endorsed candidates—but also because your contribution to Truth to Power will help us elect leaders who will put an end to scam PACs once and for all.
With your help, our slate of candidates will be sworn into office in January. And when they are, they'll continue our fight to ban scam PACs and protect patriotic grassroots donors from dishonest and exploitative tactics.
But that will only happen if we can get our candidates the resources they need to win on election day. So will you help me finally stop scam PACs from swindling donors by making a contribution to Truth to Power—the anti-scam PAC—today?
Thanks so much,
—Katie
