Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle of Nevada has pledged not to take campaign contributions from PACs that include donations from companies that provide health benefits to the partners of gay employees. But a Daily Beast analysis shows she’s already taken at least $37,000 from such political action committees.
It was unclear whether Angle would return the money as an email statement from spokesman Jerry Stacy didn't address that question.
"Companies and employees should be allowed to decide which coverage plans work best for them, not the government," Stacy wrote to The Daily Beast. "The important goal of stopping Senator Harry Reid's failed policies is drawing support from many organizations even if they don’t agree with Sharron on every single issue, because the main issue is that Americans are out of work and businesses are struggling to survive and the country can't afford another six years of Harry Reid."
