Can you help me stop a lie my opponent, and some of her volunteers, are sharing with voters?
They’re intentionally mis-leading voters by telling them our campaign is “Funded by big money corporations from out of state.”
Here’s the truth:
Byrd’s Donations:
- We’ve raised $32,118 this campaign
- Over. $29k of our donations are from local individuals and businesses.
- Only one (1) out of state donation has been received. This was from a local employer headquartered out of state for $1,000.
Lewis’s Donations:
- They’ve raised $57,387
- Only $26k from Whatcom County, a significant amount of is from special interest groups.
- They’ve received 24 out-of-state donations. These are from: California, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Missouri, New Hampshire, and Texas.
