Brendan Mullen STILL Won’t Come Clean About His Washington Homes, Raises Most of His Money Outside IN
Good Morning,
I wanted to make sure you didn’t miss Washington insider Brendan Mullen on WSBT radio this morning trying to side-step the fact that he is running a Washington-based candidacy. Not only do Mullen and his family own three homes in Washington that they received special tax breaks on, but 60% of his financial backers live outside Indiana.
HOST: “It has been a while since we have talked. There has been some talk in political circles that you have been largely unseen and some have said unavailable in the district. There was a recent Republican party ad that hit the fact that you don’t live in the district… if you win this district will you move your family into the district?” (WSBT, 2/1/2012)
See if you can make sense of his rambling answer.
Fundraising Facts:
• 91% of the money Jackie raised in the fourth quarter came from Indiana.
• About 60% of the money Mullen raised in the fourth quarter came from outside Indiana, more than half of these are from the Washington area.
NRCC COMMENT: “Washington insider Brendan Mullen continues to come under fire from Hoosier middle-class families for his Washington-based candidacy that is solely funded by his Washington special interest friends. Indiana voters won’t stand for his Washington-knows-best mentality that has already destroyed enough jobs.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Andrea Bozek
