Marlin Stutzman demands answers from Coats on lobbying ties,
personal contributions to campaign, and financial disclosure.
" At this point, we are only left to believe that Dan Coats is wholly owned by Washington special interests." - Marlin Stutzman
Howe, IN - Marlin Stutzman addressed the media today after a local fundraiser in Avon. While Marlin Stutzman was having his Indiana fundraiser, Dan Coats was in Washington, D.C. raising money from Senators and special interests. The Coats D.C. fundraiser comes on the heels of a weak fundraising quarter for Dan Coats, and news that he has given his campaign $200, 000 dollars in personal money.
"Dan Coats' continued refusal to disclose his financial information to the Senate Ethics Committee has become even more of an insult to Hoosier voters this week when Dan wrote his campaign a personal check for $200,000. Where did this $200,000 come from Dan? Why can't you fill out a simple form? If this is any indication of the level of professionalism and transparency we will receive from a Senator Coats, Hoosiers need to run the other way. We all know Dan Coats made money as a Washington, D.C. lobbyist that is within his rights to do so. Covering up who he lobbied for, and where the money he is now spending on his campaign came from is not within his rights or within the law. At this point we are only left to believe that Dan Coats is wholly owned by Washington special interests."
