How to Lose a Congressional Race in 45 Days

September 26, 2014

WWWW

This is getting kind of ridiculous. As reported by the National Review Aaron Woolf’s film company was delinquent on its taxes three straight years – all while taking federal taxpayer funded subsidies to make a movie (King Corn) critical of federal taxpayer funded subsidies.

Is this guy serious?! If you are keeping score at home in the past 45 days we have learned the following about Woolf:

1. His Brooklyn businesses were hit with 83 health code violations.

2. Those same Brooklyn businesses were served a warrant for $131,000 in unpaid taxes.

3. And Woolf was sued and admitted wrongdoing for not paying his employees their wages.

4. Woolf secretly paid a connected lawyer to clear the primary for him.

5. A volunteer in the Woolf campaign wrote a sexist letter to the editor that went viral in the wrong way, then the volunteer exposed the Woolf campaigns role in the letter.

6. Woolf made a movie criticizing the fast food industry while investing in the same companies he criticized.

7. Woolf criticized the oil and gas industry despite investing $800,000 in that same oil and gas industry.

Have I left anything out?

NRCC Comment: “To be perfectly honest, we are running out of things to say about Aaron Woolf’s laughably bad campaign. Woolf doesn’t pay his taxes, doesn’t pay his employees, and doesn’t comply with the state health code – but he is more than happy to pay lawyers to kick opponents off the ballot, have volunteers write sexist letters to the editor, and invest in the very same big corporations that he criticized on the campaign trail. What a joke.” – NRCC Spokesman Ian Prior
