Republican U.S. Senate candidate Eric Hovde has made a bold promise in his latest campaign ad. He has pledged to donate his entire taxpayer-funded salary to charity if elected. This move comes as Democrats attempt to portray Hovde, a California bank owner and real estate mogul, as an affluent and disconnected multimillionaire.
Hovde, who is prepared to invest up to $20 million of his personal funds in the race against Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, emphasized his independence from special interest money. He stated, 'I've worked hard, been fortunate. I don’t need their special interest money, and I won’t take it.'
