Kilroy Signs Pledge Against Corporate Corruption

Share/Save/Bookmark

COLUMBUS, Ohio—A rally was held Wednesday for Mary Jo Kilroy, the Democratic candidate for the 15th Congressional district.

Local members of MoveOn.org presented Kilroy with what they called a pledge against corporate corruption.

The pledge calls for overturning the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling, which blocked a ban on corporate political spending.

So far, more than 150 other politicians have signed the pledge.

“I came here today because I want you to sign this pledge—and I know you will—saying that you support the 98 percent of us who don’t have lobbyists,“ a participant said.

NBC 4 spoke with the campaign for Kilroy’s opponent, Republican Steve Stivers Wednesday.

Campaign leaders said Stivers has not been approached by MoveOn.org about the pledge.
