Koch-Linked Group Spending $1M In PA Supreme Court Race

October 21, 2015

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC), “a political advocacy group with ties to the Koch brothers,” is spending $1 million on TV and digital ads in an attempt to influence the Pennsylvania Supreme Court race.  The ads will benefit the Republican field and target Democratic candidate Kevin Dougherty, according to the Post-Gazette.

Charles and David Koch just can’t say “no” to an opportunity to tip the scales. The Post-Gazette reports that the RSLC is the beneficiary of a $100,000 donation from Koch Industries, and has also received funding from the Koch-allied U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which shares Charles and David’s pro-corporate interest, anti-climate and working family agenda.

No surprises here, just another election where the Kochs are bringing in out-of-state, special-interest money to influence an electoral outcome and advance their selfish agenda — this time to buy a seat on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

When you push the envelope like Charles and David do, it’s always good to have a justice or two on your side — it’s an investment.
