Alessandra Biaggi on Opponent Sean Patrick Maloney’s Dark Money Super PAC: “Maloney Delivers for Special Interests — Now They’re Returning the Favor”

“When his colleagues urged him to condemn corporate Super PACs in Democratic primaries, Mr. Maloney was silent”

“When numerous organizations invited him to debate me, Mr. Maloney refused — instead relying on corporate donors to run his campaign”

WESTCHESTER, NY - In response to today’s report of a new dark money Super PAC attacking Democratic Congressional candidate Alessandra Biaggi in NY-17, Biaggi issued the following statement. Biaggi’s opponent, Sean Patrick Maloney, has repeatedly refused to condemn Super PAC spending in Democratic primaries.

“Sean Patrick Maloney’s reliance on dark money Super PACs is no surprise. My opponent has spent the past decade raising millions from corporate PACs and special interests, and then delivering for his special interest donors in Congress — now they want to return the favor.

“When his colleagues urged him to condemn corporate Super PACs in Democratic primaries, Mr. Maloney was silent. When local New Yorkers joined the call, Mr. Maloney would not respond. And when numerous organizations invited him to debate me, Mr. Maloney refused — instead relying on corporate donors to run his campaign.

“We need to get big money out of politics — and that starts by electing leaders who put working people first and corporate interests last. Unlike my opponent, I don’t take a dime from corporate PACs — because I’m in this to deliver for working people, not corporate donors.”

Background:

• In June, the Progressive Congressional Caucus urged the DCCC to condemn outside spending in Democratic primaries. Maloney did not respond to this call.

• In July, Hudson Valley progressives urged Maloney to condemn outside spending in Democratic primaries. He once again refused to respond. 

• Maloney has refused to attend numerous debates and forums with Alessandra Biaggi.

• Maloney has received over $4 million from Wall Street and the financial industry; $650,000 from the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, and over $65,000 from the fossil fuel industry.
