Kampf files for injunction against Pa. Fund for Change

PAOIL >> State Representative Warren Kampf last week filed a petition for a Special and Preliminary Injunction against Pennsylvania Fund for Change in response to a series of negative mailers sent to voters in the 157th District of Pennsylvania that contain patently false information.

The mailers in question attack Kampf for “living large on thousands of dollars in per-diems” which are the taxpayer-funded payments legislators can receive for each day they serve in the state Capital.

The problem comes in that

Kampf has never accepted per diems as a state legislator, a fact confirmed again today by Pennsylvania House of Representatives Comptroller Mary-Jo Mullen.

“Even with politics as bad as it is today, the truth should never be a casualty. The fact that this outside group is more interested in

gaining power than telling the truth is disgusting,” Kampf stated. “If the special interests are spending this kind of money and effort trying to elect Ms. Shusterman, voters need to ask themselves: who is she really going to work for?”

On Oct. 2, The Inquirer called Pennsylvania Fund for change a “mysterious new group” and reported that it would not report its donor, spending plans, and targeting decisions when

asked by their reporter. It went on to report that the treasurer for the campaign is tied to a pro-Democratic super PAC that spent $2.5 million in 2015 state judicial races.

“I think the people of our community have had enough with the DC-style politics, dark money and lies,” Kampf said. “I decided to do this so that someone takes a stand against these special interests and says, ‘enough is enough, we don’t want you here.’”
