ICYMI: Perez Powered by PACs, Transfers, and Out-of-State Money

In case you missed it, a new report reveals fraud Marie Gluesenkamp Perez’s campaign is fueled by money from everywhere but Washington. Just a sliver of her quarterly haul came from in-state donors, while the rest flowed in from out-of-state cash, PACs, and transfer money.

“Fraud Marie Gluesenkamp Perez can play Congresswoman in flannel all she wants, but the numbers don’t lie. Perez is bankrolled by coastal elites, billionaire families, and Democrat cash machines. She doesn’t represent Southwest Washington, she’s a puppet for the out-of-state radical donors who own her.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez

A new campaign finance report shows that Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA) is getting most of her financial support from outside of Washington state.

According to the latest FEC filing, the majority of her fundraising — about 56% — came from party transfer money rather than direct checks from individual supporters. About 81% of those contributions came from people living outside of Washington, with significant funding coming from cities like New York, Chicago, and areas in California.

When looking at her total fundraising for the quarter, only about 7.8% of the money came from within the state she represents.

The report also highlights that she accepted $33,500 from the Pritzker family, one of the wealthiest political families in the country.

Instead of relying on local voters, these filings show her campaign is being kept afloat by wealthy donors and big-city party money. While she claims to stand for local values, the tiny amount of funding from within her own district suggests she is increasingly dependent on these wealthy out-of-state groups.
