In the Michigan Senate race, Elissa Slotkin has employed a workaround to take the very corporate PAC money she attacks Mike Rogers for accepting.DETROIT — For years, Rep. Elissa Slotkin has sworn to reject donations from corporate political-action committees.
Slotkin, who’s running a tight race against GOP ex-Rep. Mike Rogers for an open Senate seat, doesn’t take corporate PAC money directly — but she takes cash from leadership PACs, run by elected politicians, that do take corporate donations.The Every Vote PAC, which is connected to Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, donated $2,500 to Slotkin in June, for instance. The Fetterman PAC accepts corporate PAC money.
“Winning this race is going to take a lot of resources. A crazy amount. And we have to do it without raising a single dollar from corporate PACs,” a Sept. 9 fundraising email read. End Citizens United told The Post the distinction between accepting money from corporate PACs and accepting money from politicians who do is a big one. Lobbyists can’t demand access from a politician they have not supported directly.
