Graham Platner Speaks to PACKED Augusta Crowd

Published | Video Starts at 53:29

I legitimately need your money. We don't take corporate PAC money. I don't take money from special interest groups like fossil fuel fuel companies or like apac. We take money from individual donors and packs that are affiliated with labor unions and other ideologically similar groups who are only allowed to give us $5,000 anyway. So it's actually not that much money. Because of this, we need to raise a lot of money. And when we're not taking money from the big places. (53:29–53:43)

CLAIM

Asserts campaign funding sources are individual donors and certain PACs with a $5,000 limit.
