Nancy Pelosi, the former speaker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPaige is the only candidate in this race who does not accept donations from corporate PACs, supports a federal ban on corporate PAC donations, and will never be handed a corporate check in exchange for special access or political favors,\u201d Emma Mustion, the campaign\u2019s communications director, said. \u201cThe reason for her pledge is simple: Paige is independent and doesn\u2019t work for anybody but the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=1969\">Boozman Plans Senate Farm Bill Markup Without Clear Bipartisan Deal<\/a><\/p><p>Cognetti\u2019s pledge to reject corporate PAC money has become a key feature of her campaign, and is cited in endorsements from advocacy groups such as End Citizens United and lawmakers including Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Arizona).<\/p><p>Campaign finance and other <span>money matters<\/span> are key issues in the race between Cognetti and Bresnahan. Cognetti has repeatedly hit Bresnahan, who <span>accepts<\/span> direct corporate PAC money, for his <span>once-prolific stock trading<\/span> \u2014 the multimillionaire <span>with his own helicopter<\/span> made more than 650 individual stock trades during 2025, according to federal records.<\/p><p>Among them, he <span><u>traded stock<\/u><\/span> in companies that manage Medicaid just before the House took its first vote on Republicans\u2019 sweeping tax cut bill that slashed the program. He has also personally invested in artificial intelligence companies <span><u>before advocating for data centers<\/u><\/span>.<\/p><p>NOTUS previously reported that Bresnahan <span><u>abruptly stopped trading stocks earlier this year<\/u><\/span>. At the time, a spokesperson said a financial institution managed Bresnahan\u2019s stock trades.<\/p><p>\u201cOnly a slick politician like Paige Cognetti would make a promise to reject corporate PAC money a centerpiece of her campaign only to find a loophole to accept it,\u201d Samantha Bullock, a spokesperson for Bresnahan\u2019s campaign, said in a statement to NOTUS.<\/p><div>\n<\/div><p>Federal records show <span><u>Cognetti had $3.4 million<\/u><\/span> cash on hand, besting <span><u>Bresnahan\u2019s $2.6 million<\/u><\/span> war chest, as of June 30. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report <span><u>rates<\/u><\/span> the race between Bresnahan and Cognetti as a toss-up. National Republicans and Democrats alike consider the race critical to winning a House majority in 2027.<\/p><p>Cognetti, for her part, continues to run on an anti-corruption platform that includes banning members of Congress from trading individual stocks, instituting term limits for federal lawmakers, withholding lawmakers\u2019 pay throughout government shutdowns and prohibiting members of Congress from making bets in prediction markets.<\/p><p>Other candidates have been criticized in the past for accepting similar contributions. Democrat Abigail Spanberger, now the governor of Virginia, campaigned on rejecting corporate PAC money while running for Congress in 2022 \u2014 and was slammed at the time for taking money from leadership PACs.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=1966\">Judiciary Committee Delays Blanche Nomination Vote<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Democratic candidate in a hot Pennsylvania congressional race has accepted money from political groups that are themselves funded by corporate PACs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1972,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pennsylvania"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Paige Cognetti Refuses Corporate PAC Money.
