Too many people in power have sold out to Wall Street and moneyed special interests, but the billionaire money behind Senator Kyrsten Sinema and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is one of the most alarming examples yet.
“Sellout Sinema” is famous for standing in the way of progress. That’s why BOWL PAC endorsed her Democratic challenger for Senate, Ruben Gallego. But it’s not hard to see the connection between her obstruction of progress and the billionaire money pouring into her campaign coffers. The same billionaire has spent decades lavishing gifts and luxury travel on extremist SCOTUS Justice Thomas.
As an organization that fights for marijuana legalization, we know that when the ultra-wealthy win, the rest of us lose. Sinema and Thomas have both demonstrated a willingness to sell their positions and the American people to the highest bidder—whether it’s Sinema’s campaign funding her stays at the Ritz Carlton or Thomas’s love of private jets.[1, 2]
Democrats in the Senate have the power to investigate corruption and hold our leaders accountable. It’s time for them to stand up to corruption.
Thank you for fighting alongside us on behalf of a better future for all.
In solidarity,
