Heitkamp’s not getting her campaign cash from North Dakotans. It’s coming from everywhere else – Washington, DC, California, Washington, DC, South Carolina, Washington, DC, Hawaii, and, predictably, Washington, DC.
Half of all the money she’s raised has come from Democratic Party leaders in Washington, California liberals and, shockingly, one East Coast law firm.
For every dollar Heitkamp raises from North Dakota, $3 are coming to her from outside special interests, the Democratic Party establishment, and her liberal friends.
Heidikamp wants to represent North Dakota, but if she’s elected, the only people she’ll owe are the ones that bought her campaign.
