Who Won’t Tim Mahoney Take Money From?

According to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, Tim Mahoney has received $495,415 in campaign contributions from finance, insurance and real estate interests, including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Mahoney is the 23rd leading House recipient of such contributions. This is in addition to the thousands he has received from Charlie Rangel, who has a long history of misusing taxpayer dollars, and most recently jilted taxpayers by failing to report income from offshore investments. If Mahoney has this pattern of complete disregard for where the funding for his campaign coffers originates, how can we trust him to represent the people of Florida’s 16th Congressional District in Washington?
