Progressive Champions PAC, a super PAC created last month, says on its website that its mission is to “elect bold, progressive candidates up and down the ballot.” On Friday, according to FCC records, it booked nearly $400,000 worth of broadcast television ads attacking Cait Conley, a Democratic candidate in New York’s 17th Congressional District.
Weak and afraid, but with a lot of money. Great that Judd and staff are shining a light on what they are doing. Democrats need to get the word out in those races.
The sad part about this is there's probably room for legitimate good-faith criticism from the left for these candidates. Conley, for example, seems like your standard liberal touting her military service as her major qualification. This astroturfed GOP charade is clearly not that, though, and if you're not paying close attention, you could easily get caught up in the shell game. Unsettling stuff.
And there we go.... now the maga right has nothing left except to use 2 words associated with democrats or shall I write with democracy..... LEFT & PROGRESSIVE..... it's possible they have "assumed" that voters on both sides have very low iq's.....pathetic
I hate being the basic one but if you put together a simple VERY large font list of these Republican front PACs the entire state would see and it would register! It is insane the lengths they go through to make the entire country red
Fucking “supreme” court…thanks Roberts.
Thank you for exposing this. Hopefully the people in NY and Maine learn of this.
I feel that I always get the greatest research from Popular Info
Always!!
Great investigative journalism, thank you so much! We so so need election reform.
Thank you for your continued hard work in exposing these dirty tactics.
What a great system we’ve achieved in 250 years.
More like a system that Republicans have corrupted, especially since Citizens United.
Ratf*cking continues with Crosby as Segretti. Yet this is evidence of that MAGA is weak, and MAGA-ites are afraid.

So this is the “diabolical” Mike Johnson actually meant.
They can't bury it deep enough to fool you, Judd!🙏🏼
We have to get these PACs and dark money out of our politics!!! Also, PACs should be required, at least, to be truthful!!!
GOP: Proudly turning dirty tricks in the mud since Richard Nixon.
If it wasn’t for ineptitude, these malevolent figures would be really dangerous.
