SHADY: Pennsylvania GOP AG Candidate and the Missing $5.5 Million in Campaign Donations

September 26, 2024

Unethical, shady behavior from guy running to be state’s top cop

Washington, DC – In a bombshell report from the Pennsylvania Capital-Star on the Attorney General race, “a large chunk of spending on behalf of Republican Dave Sunday isn’t visible to voters in his latest campaign finance report.”

The large chunk? It’s $5.5 MILLION from far-right PA billionaire Jeff Yass’ PAC, who has been attempting to buy the AG election in the state.

Statement from Emily Trifone, DAGA’s Deputy Communications Director:

“This is unethical and should disqualify someone running to be the state’s lead attorney. Pennsylvanians can’t trust shady Dave Sunday.”

The Penn Capital-Star article continues, “Pennsylvania candidates for elected office are required to report donations of ‘valuable things’ to the Department of State. Sunday’s latest report lists no such donations during the period in which the advertising data shows Commonwealth Leaders Fund was booking advertising with television stations across the state.”

“DePasquale’s campaign manager Carver Murphy said Sunday is ‘hiding behind Yass bucks instead of running a campaign for the people of Pennsylvania. Voters aren’t going to be fooled by clever contribution timing,’ Murphy said.”
