Sean Moran 8 Jul 2020
Three Senate Democrat candidates have criticized the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) despite benefiting from it, according to a report released Wednesday.
The Washington Examiner’s Emily Larsen reported Wednesday that three Senate Democrat candidates have benefitted from the PPP loan program. These include Cal Cunningham, the challenger to Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC); Mark Kelly, who faces Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ); and Sara Gideon, who hopes to unseat Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME).
Gideon, who is Maine’s state House speaker, attacked Collins for suggesting that campaign contributions pushed Collins to write a “loophole†into the legislation that established the PPP to benefit out-of-state hotels.
The personal injury law firm for which Gideon’s husband works received a PPP loan between $1 and 2 million.
Cunningham also warned that PPP could lead to corruption.
“We’ve seen that money end up in some of the wrong hands,†Cunningham said in May.
