Casey Benefited from Big Stores He Rails Against on ‘Greedflation’ Platform

Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania has made ‘greedflation’ a key campaign issue, but his donor records show that he has received significant contributions from the large corporations he rails against. Casey’s campaign has received $9,000 from a PAC representing Cargill Inc., the largest poultry producer in the U.S., $15,500 from the corporate PAC of Procter and Gamble, the company behind Charmin, and $16,000 from PACs associated with Kellogg’s. Casey has criticized these companies for price gouging and reducing the size of their products. When asked about the donations, Casey’s spokesperson said he is an independent fighter who will always stand up for working people against corporate greed. Casey is facing a tough race this year against Republican challenger Dave McCormick.
