An attack ad confuses the donations U.S. House candidate Tom Barrett has received in the past with the amount of donors.
show in this year’s race, he has some 3,000 individual donors, more than 500 of whom live in Michigan, who have given more than $200 each compared with about 65 donations from political action committees, trade organizations and partisan political groups nationwide.
for himself and for his leadership committee since 2014 shows that in terms of the number of donors, the claim is untrue: Controlling for multiple donations by the same people, about 695 individuals have given to his committees, compared with about 235 groups. And on that point, it is correct, at least with a little rounding: Barrett’s committees raised 87% of their funding, about $1.8 million out of just over $2 million, from outside groups, not individuals.Although it’s true that nearly 90% of Barrett’s campaign funding as a state legislator has come from outside groups, the ad never makes that clear to the viewer, confusing the idea of the sum of the donations with the donors themselves.
