John Kerry Ranks 92nd out of the 100 Senators in Contributions from Special Interest PACS and Lobbyists

Bush Raised More Lobbyist Funds in 2003 than Kerry Raised in Career

Spokane, WA– While Senator John Kerry has run and won four Senate races over the past 20 years, he ranks about the bottom of the list of current Senators in contributions from PACs and lobbyists.

“George Bush accepted more money last year from lobbyists than John Kerry has in his career,” said Kerry campaign Senior Advisor Michael Meehan. “John Kerry’s vote is not for sale, period. He is the only current Senator to run four campaigns without taking a dime of special interest PAC money.”


“John Kerry is one of the most successful Democrats over the past two decades and one of the party’s top fundraisers,” Meehan added. “Therefore it is understandable that Kerry, who has raised over $45 million from individuals in 20 years, would lead any particular sub-grouping of individual contributors.

Kerry is in the lowest ten percent of Senators who have received money from PAC's Lobbyists, and other Special interests.

Again, Dean twists the information to suit his particular needs, as the statements about his out of state money. Far far more out of state contributions than his campaign says.
