Meet The Dark Money Group Behind Elizabeth Warren’s Rise'Anti-Corruption' candidate granted access to coalition that championed her appointment to Wall Street watchdog Yuichiro Kakutani - February 5, 2020 12:00 PMPresidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) has staked her campaign on doing away with the financial relationships she says have corroded government and made it a playground for the wealthy and connected. She has pledged not to "take a dime of PAC money" or "a single check from a federal lobbyist."
"If you don't have money and you don't have connections," Warren said in a speech announcing her presidential campaign, "Washington doesn't want to hear from you."
But the purity test Warren has established for herself and her rivals on the campaign trail—where she routinely criticizes opponents for hobnobbing with wealthy donors—stands in stark contrast to the actions she took as she ascended the political ladder when she maintained a close relationship with a dark money group led by some of America's most powerful labor unions and interest groups. The group championed her rise from Harvard Law to the Obama administration and Senate.
