Vermont Business Magazine The following is a comment from Leahy For Vermont Communications Director Jay Tilton on Scott Milne’s official launch to his campaign For United States Senate on Saturday, September 9, 2016:
“Mr. Milne’s announcement highlights a fundamental difference between the candidates. While Mr Milne believes this race is about Senator Leahy, Senator Leahy believes this race is about the issues facing Vermonters.
Rather than talking about “clean campaign pledges,” Senator Leahy is running a clean, positive, issue oriented campaign, like he always has. This is in sharp contrast to Mr Milne who thus far has run a 100 negative and issue free campaign.”
FACT CHECK:
Senator Leahy’s campaign has raised $4 million dollars to date, of which 70 percent is from individuals with an average contribution of less than $100.
