Marci Francisco is the special interest, PAC senator.
During this, her fifth term, she has amassed nearly $100,000 in campaign contributions with over 90% coming from special interests, PACs, and out of town contributors.
Her campaign finance reports show in July she received an illegal contribution from Delta Dental of Kansas. The law limits contributions to $1000 per election cycle. Delta Dental contributed $1000 each in 2021, again in July 2024, and again in September 2024. It appears the illegal July contribution was returned in August 2024 after she had used it to defeat Representative Haswood in the August primary. After defeating Haswood, Francisco gave partial refunds to many of her largest local contributors. The report lists nearly $4000 in such refunds.
The list of Francisco’s special interest contributions is expansive: big utilities, Texas and Oklahoma energy companies, Las Vegas gambling interests, and more than 20 PACs.
My campaign pledged to accept no PAC contributions. I have not and will not accept PAC contributions. Period.
I repeat: Marci Francisco is the special interest, PAC senator.
