      You seem to be literally the only one who is saying this …

      … If you had some type of proof we’d be willing to see it

        Here’s proof. Basically entirely outside funding.

        It’s interesting how no one else is saying easily findable information.

          Minor Internet Influencer uses minor internet influence to raise funds for campaign.

          No mention of her parents was made in the article linked.

            , yes, I didn’t make the claim that her parents donated to the campaign

            Why are you upvoted

        I think her tiktok audience doesn’t understand the actual issues at hand.

          Irrelevant.

          You’re implying she’s corrupt because her funding comes from outside her district.

          I am pointing out that her funding comes from her Tiktok audience - who come from outside her district.

          Are you willfully approaching this conversation in bad faith?
