EXPOSED: Lying Democrat Rebecca Bennett Is Bankrolled by Corporate PACs

Lying Democrat Rebecca Bennett claims she doesn’t take a dime of corporate PAC money, but a new report exposes that corporations are lining the coffers of her campaign. 

“Rebecca Bennett is lying, and she knows it. Bennett has taken thousands in corporate PAC money while claiming she doesn’t. Voters in New Jersey deserve a representative who is honest and transparent with them. Clearly, that isn’t Rebecca Bennett.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole

How Corporate PAC Money Gets to Democrats Who Swore It Off

Democratic candidates’ call to get money out of politics is a central theme in the 2026 midterms, with dozens of Democratic incumbents and candidates pledging to reject donations from corporate political action committees.

But there’s a workaround that is enabling the flow of money from business interests into the campaign accounts of many Democrats who otherwise reject cash from corporate PACs.

Candidates, particularly those in the most competitive races, are relying on contributions from Democratic leadership PACs — groups formed by federal lawmakers to boost their party’s congressional candidates. And many of those leadership PACs receive significant donations from corporate PACs.

Daniel Lobo-Lewis, a co-founder of the Political Integrity Project, which grades candidates based on their financial transparency and anti-corruption commitments, told NOTUS the practice is “an issue.”

Political entities established by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark and House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar are among the committees that have donated to “no corporate PAC money” candidates while receiving donations from corporations such as banking giant Barclays, pharmacy chain CVS and insurance company UnitedHealthcare this year. Jeffries, Clark and Aguilar did not respond to requests for comment from NOTUS.

Rebecca Bennett, who is challenging Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-New Jersey) in another “toss-up” district, has also vowed not to accept corporate donations.

Federal filings show Bennett nonetheless took $5,000 from JEFF PAC and another $1,000 from BEEPAC, along with other leadership PAC donations. Connecticut Rep. Jim Himes, the top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, created BEEPAC and has accepted contributions from those defense companies and others such as RTX Corporation.

Bennett has similarly spotlighted her experience as a Navy veteran and has pledged to help improve the Defense Department’s technology development to ensure service members “have the equipment and capabilities they need” if she is elected to Congress.

Bennett’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment from NOTUS.
