Democratic congressional candidate David Gill insists he’s not breaking his pledge to refuse corporate and Wall Street donations, even though his campaign is running an ad paid for by a Democratic campaign committee which gets money from both sources.
In the ad, Gill calls such donations “legalized bribery.”
But he says the money from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee came from a segregated fund, with money collected from online individual “grass roots” donations.
Gill’s Republican opponent Rodney Davis accuses Gill of hypocrisy for taking the D-triple-C money.
