Mowers Fuels Campaign With Donations from Consultants to Albanian Socialists, Brutal Foreign Governments – And Corey Lewandowski

How someone funds their campaign says a lot about that candidate.

So what does it say about Matt Mowers that he’s fueling his campaign with donations from:

• Disgraced advisor and alleged abuser Corey Lewandowski’s PAC

• Multi-million dollar lobbying firm Ballard Partners – which Mowers did strategic consulting for – was a registered foreign agent of the Socialist Party of Albania, brutal foreign governments like Zimbabwe, Qatar, and Turkey, and even the Turkish bank Halkbank, which was indicted for illegally laundering millions of dollars to Iran in an effort to skirt U.S. sanctions against Iran?

Mowers rails against “socialist ideas” and profiting off government positions, but seems to be comfortable with both if it fills his campaign coffers.

DCCC Spokesperson James Singer 

“It makes sense that shadow lobbyist Matt Mowers is funding his campaign with a horde of DC lobbyists. How will his Republican rivals and primary voters react to lobbyists for the Socialist Party of Albania and foreign dictators funding his campaign?”
