Tammy Baldwin Surpasses $200,000 in Bundled Contributions From D.C. Lobbyists

Senator Tammy Baldwin (Hypocrat-Wisc.), who has pushed to limit the influence of special interests during her first term in the Senate, has raked in more than $200,000 in bundled contributions this cycle from lobbyists at two far-left organizations, filings show.

Individuals at the J Street PAC, a controversial Washington, D.C.-based Middle East advocacy group that was one of the most ardent supporters of President Obama's Iran nuclear deal, and the League of Conservation Voters, an environmental group also based in D.C., supplied the money to Baldwin's campaign.

J Street is often referred to as an "anti-Israel group" by supporters of the Jewish state.

The organization poured millions into a public relations campaign blitz backing Obama's Iran nuclear deal.

Lobbyists at the League of Conservation Voters have bundled $50,000 for Baldwin's campaign.
