Theresa Greenfield Opposes Corporate Cash, Unless She’s the One Receiving It
Many of those groups are funded by corporations and liberal billionaires, and Greenfield refuses to denounce their involvement in her race.

One of Iowa Democratic Senate candidate Theresa Greenfield’s key electoral arguments is railing against the influence of corporate PAC money in politics. In fact, a quick glance at her website reveals a clear message:
“Theresa is committed to building a grassroots campaign by Iowans, for Iowans and won’t take a dime from corporate PACs.”
Unfortunately for Greenfield, a new report from The Washington Free Beacon has exposed just how hollow and disingenuous that pledge actually is.
Washington Free Beacon: “Iowa Democratic Senate hopeful Theresa Greenfield has benefited from hundreds of thousands of dollars in corporate special interest money even as she campaigns against the influence of money in politics.”
“The Iowa Democrat has accepted nearly $200,000 in campaign contributions from leadership PACs bankrolled by corporations. Greenfield received $30,000 from PACs affiliated with senators Gary Peters (D., Mich.), Debbie Stabenow (D., Mich.), and Kyrsten Sinema (D., Ariz.)—groups that have accepted more than $1 million in corporate PAC contributions, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.”
In addition to the $200,000 Greenfield has received from leadership PACs bankrolled by corporations, Greenfield is also the beneficiary of more than $7 million in advertisements from liberal dark money groups. Many of those groups are funded by corporations and liberal billionaires, and Greenfield refuses to denounce their involvement in her race.
