Obama’s Anti-Coal Lieutenants Funding Nick Rahall’s Campaign

April 16, 2014

DWS and Pelosi

While Nick Rahall only received 24 contributions from people in the 3rd District of West Virginia, Washington liberals are going all in for Rahall in WV-03.

Take Nancy Pelosi. She donated $4,000 from Nancy Pelosi for Congress. And then Pelosi’s political action committee, PAC to the Future, donated $10,000.

Let’s also not forget cap-and-trade warrior Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Her PAC donated $7,500 this quarter and has donated a total of $10,000 this cycle. For a refresher on where Debbie Wasserman Schultz stands on Barack Obama’s war on coal, please watch her try and argue about what is best for West Virginia with Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito.

For your convenience we’ve linked Rahall’s report here. (pp. 47, 50, 54, 56, 58, 61).

NRCC Comment: “Nick Rahall’s fundraising shows that he is indeed a creature of Washington. Not only did he receive an embarrassingly low 24 donations from his district compared to 200 in-district donations for Evan Jenkins, but Rahall has taken tens of thousands of dollars in campaign money from liberal, anti-coal Obama Lieutenants like Nancy Pelosi and Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Clearly that explains why Rahall keeps voting against coal and against West Virginia.”  – NRCC Spokesman Ian Prior
