Lobbyists working on behalf of foreign nations are cutting large checks to help Democrats win two competitive Senate seats, records show.
Maryland, a traditionally blue state made competitive by the candidacy of popular Republican former Gov. Larry Hogan, and Arizona, a core swing state, have both seen an influx of cash from registered foreign agents ahead of election day, disclosures show.
Democrats are taking home the majority of these foreign agent contributions, with Rep. Ruben Gallego, the Democratic nominee in Arizona, bringing in well over ten times more cash from foreign agents than Republican nominee Kari Lake. In Maryland, Democratic Senate nominee Angela Alsobrooks has brought in nearly twice as much in donations from foreign agents as Hogan.
Gallego has long railed against the influence of lobbyists on policy.
