Thirty Years in Washington to Sell Voters Out

Diana DeGette has spent nearly three decades in Congress — funded by fossil fuel companies, ICE contractors, and Big Pharma.

Get the facts

She is an establishment Democrat who has been in D.C. for decades.

Her votes have followed her donors — every time.

It is no surprise that Diana DeGette has voted to fund ICE and send billions of dollars and weapons to Israel's military as it wages a genocide. When a politician takes money from fossil fuel companies, ICE contractors, and Big Pharma3, those votes are their secret arrangement working exactly as intended.

Colorado cannot trust leaders bankrolled by corporate interests to clean up the mess they helped create. To understand who Diana DeGette really serves, look at who cuts her checks.

Follow the money

When the establishment is worried, it spends.

Super PACs have poured more than a million dollars into this race to keep Diana DeGette in office. That kind of money doesn't show up for a candidate who answers to voters. It shows up for one who answers to donors.

Ask yourself a simple question: who writes seven-figure checks to protect a 30-year career politician — and what do they expect in return?

Exhibit One — Immigration

She voted to fund ICE, and ICE contractors are sending kickbacks!

DeGette has voted repeatedly to protect Trump's ICE budget — even as agents abduct people from city streets and raid schools, hospitals, and places of worship across the country. Her votes helped arm the agents now terrorizing communities like yours.

This isn't an accident of conscience. She has taken more than $145,000 in corporate PAC money from companies that earn millions on the government contracts powering Trump's deportation machine:

CharterGovt. contractor
L3HarrisDefense / surveillance

In annual U.S. military aid she keeps voting to send abroad.

Billions for weapons. Excuses for everything else.

DeGette has voted again and again to send billions of dollars and weapons to Israel's military as they wage a genocide against the Palestinian people. When the funding requests come, she says yes.

That same $3.8 billion a year could be turned toward the people she's supposed to represent. Here is what it buys instead of bombs:

  • — Affordable housing in communities that need it
  • — Healthcare for low-income children
  • — Over 30,000 teaching jobs
  • — A fully funded, expanded Child Tax Credit to help end childhood poverty
“
If you care about this, don't vote for me.
— Diana DeGette, to a college student who asked her about Gaza

You can't fix a broken system with the people paid to keep it that way.

Fossil fuel money. ICE-contractor money. Big Pharma money. Votes to fund a genocide. Votes to protect Trump's deportation machine. After nearly thirty years, the record speaks plainly enough. You deserve a representative whose loyalty is to you — not to the corporations writing the checks.
